Facial Recognition - customize your mirror for every user!

@PointPubMedia I gave a look at his code and noticed he made an small mistake. I will send him a message so the problem should be solved as soon as he sees it. For the time being (which, again, probably won’t be long) you just won’t see a message :)

Sorry guys :D Has been a while since I last coded MM modules… It’s fixed now :)
@benkej Could you provide me a zip containing your complete MM directory?

[benkej]

@paviro sure, thank you!
here are my MMM-Facial-Recognition-Tools and MMM-Facial-Recognition folders in tar.bz2 format. My config is included in the second archive.

[PointPubMedia]

@paviro You think it would be possible to display somewhere in MM2 the output from the camera at the same time as your module with a “debug” option?

It would be easier to place the camera at the right location while working on MM!

Hello,

Thanks for building this great module. When I run the “npm start” I keep getting the following message:

[MMM-Facial-Recognition] Webcam Found...
[MMM-Facial-Recognition] User undefined with confidence null logged in.
[MMM-Facial-Recognition] User undefined logged out.
[MMM-Facial-Recognition] User undefined with confidence null logged in.
[MMM-Facial-Recognition] User undefined logged out.
[MMM-Facial-Recognition] User undefined with confidence null logged in.

Sometimes it regoonizes my face, but it is like a 1/1000 change. I’m wondering why, when I run the test script my it recognizes my face really fast and always. I uploaded like 350 photo’s. I’ve tryed diffrend back grounds, with enough light.

I just dont understand why it won’t see my face while the test script is 95% of the time right.

My config File:

@s1084836 like my mirror. I have the same problem

[s1084836]

@benkej Oh, its really strange. Did you manage to work around it?

[benkej]

@s1084836 unfortunately not. I switched off the facial recognition

Hey,

my issue is, i cannt select my USB Cam.
I set “useUSBCam” to “true”, but still get piCam as the choosen one. (PiCam ausgewählt)

MMM-Facial-Recognition] ALGORITHM: LBPH
[MMM-Facial-Recognition] Training data loaded!
[MMM-Facial-Recognition] --------------------
[MMM-Facial-Recognition] PiCam ausgewählt...
Whoops! There was an uncaught exception...
{ Error: mmal: mmal_vc_component_create: failed to create component 'vc.ril.camera' (1:ENOMEM)

		    module: 'MMM-Facial-Recognition',
		    config: {

		        recognitionAlgorithm: 1,
		        // Threshold for the confidence of a recognized face before it's considered a

		        lbphThreshold: 50,

		        eigenThreshold: 3000,
		        useUSBCam: true,
		        // Path to your training xml
		        trainingFile: 'modules/MMM-Facial-Recognition/training.xml',
		        // recognition intervall in seconds (smaller number = faster but CPU intens!)
		        interval: 2,
		        // Logout delay after last recognition so that a user does not get instantly logged out if he turns away from the mirror for a few seconds
		        logoutDelay: 15,
		        // Array with usernames (copy and paste from training script)
		        users: ['Yakko'],
		        //Module set used for strangers and if no user is detected
		        defaultClass: "default",
		        //Set of modules which should be shown for every user
		        everyoneClass: "everyone",
		        // Boolean to toggle welcomeMessage
		        welcomeMessage: true
		    }
		},

Any Ideas how to force it to take my USB cam?
Thanks,
Yakko
