MMM-FacialRecognition Training tool

[eliddell]

I cloned the Facial Recognition training tool to my linux laptop, to generate a Training.xml file that i could put on my pi later, but its not working…

First i tried capturing with my webcam, and i see the webcam light go on, but it fails like so:

sudo python capture.py 
Remember to set the name list environment variable FACE_USERS
Using default FACE_ALGORITM: 1
What do you want to do?
[1] Capture training images from webcam
[2] Convert '*.jpg' pictures from other cameras to training images
--> 1

Enter the name of the person you want to capture or convert images for.
--> Erik
Images will be placed in ./training_data/Erik

--------------------
Starting process...

Capturing positive training images.
Press enter to capture an image.
Press Ctrl-C to quit.

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/root/MMM-Facial-Recognition-Tools/lib/capture.py", line 54, in capture
    input()
  File "", line 0
    
    ^
SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing

Then I tried just using jpg files, got no errors but no images are actually being put in the [Person’s name] folder under training data…

root@atreyu:~/MMM-Facial-Recognition-Tools# python capture.py

Please enter path to images or drag and drop folder into terminal
--> '/root/Documents/erik1.jpg' 

--------------------

I put gave it like 5 images for Erik and one for Essy, but
When i try running the training.py it looks like there are no images: i get this:

root@atreyu:~/MMM-Facial-Recognition-Tools# python train.py 
Remember to set the name list environment variable FACE_USERS
Using default FACE_ALGORITM: 1
Which algorithm do you want to use?
[1] LBPHF (recommended)
[2] Fisherfaces
[3] Eigenfaces

Reading training images...
--------------------
Assign label 1 to Essy
Assign label 2 to Erik
--------------------

('Read', 0, 'positive images and', 400, 'negative images.')

--------------------

Training model type 1 with threshold 80
('Training data saved to', 'training.xml')

Please add or update (if you added new people not just new images) ['Essy', 'Erik'] inside config.js (mirror module) or config.py (model tester). You can change the names to whatever you want, just keep the same order and you'll be fine.
Please add 1 as your choosen algorithm inside config.js (mirror module) or config.py (model tester).

Am i missing something?

I tried running the Facial recognition test, and it opens up the preview and detects my face, eyes, nose etc… but always says no match

please help…

Ok I figured out that it wasn’t recognizing images because I was suppose to give a folder not a file… that said, I now have it trained for three people, [Erik, Essy, Paul] but when it recognizes any of them it just says that they are Essy when I run the tester script. I updated the config.py and everything… I know it recognizes all three people because others show up as None…

Anyone have this problem

[eliddell]

Seems to be a problem in the config.py it was setting label to 0 no matter what

Hi. I face the same issue as you, Erik. I can’t make captures via camera (same error as you wrote), and if i train my own jpgs, i can not run the face recognation without issues. Did you solve the problem ?

[apm1007]

got the same problem…

[gismo2006]

Hey,
I hopüe I understand your problem and maybe I can help you. I use this modul since about one year. At first I had many problems but now it works perfect.

What I do: I use the trainer on my pi. Because of my experince whit an other modul, i rember its better not to use other sources (like your laptop…)

I use a usb cam not the pi cam. Because of that the traine wouldn´t work whit option one (take pictures from your webcam) So I have to choose option to (use jpg pictures)

for this i use fswebcam whit the option --no-Banner. So i take about 50 pictures of myself. Then I copied all pictures in one Folder, Pictures for example. Choose in the trainer option 2 use your own jpg pictures and paste the path to your folder. I think now or before you choose your path the trainer ask you for a name. Lets work it… After this you have a new folder in your folder facetrainer. now you can start the train.py and everthing should Ok.

Hello everyone,

i also have a problem withe Facial Recognition Tool. When i start “python capture.py” i get this error.

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Facial-Recognition-Tools $ sudo python capture.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “capture.py”, line 18, in
import lib.capture as capture
File “/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Facial-Recognition-Tools/lib/capture.py”, line 12, in
from builtins import input
ImportError: No module named builtins

I deleted and cloned the module twice. The installation of the OpenCV dependencies where successfull. The installation of the python dependencies (“pip install -r requirements.txt”) failed, because there where no requirements.txt.

I hope you can help me. Thanks.

[reaper81]

OK, I found a sollution by my self. The Problem was realy the python dependency. It seems in the missing “requirements.txt” where the python future package listed so I installed it by my self with

sudo pip install future --upgrade

I hope paviro fix the missing file in his project, because I like it very much.
