Facial Recognition - customize your mirror for every user!

@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...

		        // 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

Hi everyone. I try to make work the face recognition but always tell me that I´m strange, but when I do test with the facialreconition.py test alway recognize me. Someone know why I have this problem? How can I solve the problem? Thanks

[eliddell]

I have not loaded this on the mirror yet but did you change the face users and algorithm on the mirror and it’s config?

I’m having an issue where if I train it to recognize two different people the test script recognizes both as the same person :(

[strawberry 3.141]

@eliddell you must be twins :D

[eliddell]

Actually I found a problem in the config.py

If I comment out the line i= min(0, i-1) and return i-1 in the user_label method it works… Now just want to make sure we don’t get an index out of bounds…

Not terribley familiar with python. So what does that min(int, int) do exactly
