Facial Recognition - customize your mirror for every user!

Probably yes, will look into it in the next couple of weeks :)
We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?

@paviro Awesome!
Thanks for all your work!
I’m still getting my modules sorted, and need to build my frame etc.
I’d love to incorporate facial recognition and sleep on my mirror though
-
@paviro Did you have any thoughts, or make any headway on using this for facial recognition and also replicating the PIR module too?
-
@Mitchfarino Not yet sorry.

Hey!
I’d like to use facial recognition with MM. Before installing OpenCV, I’d like to know if OpenCV 2.4.13, or OpenCV 3.1 should I get to use face recognition module? Does it matter at all?
Thanks in advance! -
@sunnysys OK, I figured it out.
Finally managed Facial-Recognition to work, but I’ve got a little issue: I have to stand real close (10 cm) to RPi Camera to recognize me. What do I wrong, and how can it be fixed?Thanks!
-
@sunnysys What equipment and software did you use?
-
@cowboysdude
RPi2 + RPi camera, control with laptop via Putty+Xming. I installed OpenCV 2.4.9 on RPi2.
I wrote a little script in Python and made 20 pictures with RPi2 + RPi camera. Then I used paviro’s MMM-Facial-Recognition-Tools to train with the saved pictures, also in RPi2. (paviro says it can be pretty slow on RPi, but it wasn’t. :) ) After this I gave MMM-Facial-Recognition module to Magic Mirror config.js and the classis to the other modules.
It works, but can recognize my face rarely. Maybe I made the pictures in inappropriate lighting conditions? -
@sunnysys Somewhere in the code is a hardcoded setting of the resolution that is captured (I will add an option for that someday but I am busy with school right now). If you set this to an higher resolution you will not have to stand as close but it will require more processing power :)
Please also note that you should take the pics in a similar lightning environment as your mirror will be! -
@paviro Really thanks paviro, I will try to find it! :)
-
@sunnysys Thank you!!! Sounds straight forward enough!!
Thank you again!!!
-
@sunnysys OH shoot I just sat down to order some stuff for this and realized I didn’t ask you which camera did you get? Did you get the regular or NOIR version?
Do you mind sharing your py script that you used to make the pictures? Much appreciated!
Thanks!
-
@cowboysdude @sunnysys why not use the capture script in the module repo?
We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?

@paviro When I get the camera and rebuild the mirror I will do that!! Sounds like it may be easier…
-
@cowboysdude I’ve got the 5MP regular version PiCamera. I read somewhere that the new 8MP ones still got some issues. Don’t know what’s the situation with it now.
Yes, I can share you my capturing code but now I’ve tried to capture images with the built in script of paviro’s MMM-Facial-Recognition-Tools and it works fine. No need to use other script anymore. :) -
@paviro I tried it at first time and it seemed not working. Don’t know what the problem was but I’ve taken a second try right now and it works like a charm. :) Thanks!

Someone know if this module could work with a USB webcam? I try but don´t recognize me. I have the training.xml document on the folder, then start the MagicMirror and Raspberry start the module, but then nothing. I need to do something else? Need to configure in a different way? Or not be possible?

@piedaniel did you set “useUSBCam” to True in the config.js?
-
yes, I configure in true useUSBCam.
