Facial Recognition - customize your mirror for every user!

cowboysdude

@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!

paviro

@cowboysdude @sunnysys why not use the capture script in the module repo?

cowboysdude

@paviro When I get the camera and rebuild the mirror I will do that!! Sounds like it may be easier…

sunnysys

@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. :)

sunnysys

@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!

cowboysdude

@sunnysys @paviro

Thank you both!! My camera should be in today so I guess I’ll tinker with it this weekend.

I ordered the NOIR version …

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?

piedaniel

yes, I configure in true useUSBCam.

I’m holding off on the facial recognition until I can figure out how to use in conjunction with pir sensor to turn mirror on and off…

sarthak18593

Can anyone show me an example of how the classes should sit in the config.js file? I’m confused

KirAsh4

Take a look at the stock ~/MagicMiror/config/config.js.sample file. That should give you a good start.

im stuck at this part of the facial recognition tools - “Write down the [‘name’, ‘name2’,‘name3’] part because you will later need it for setting up your mirror’s face recognition.” , Where do i find those names ? i see a folder has been created in the training data , but training.xml doesnt have any names

sarthak18593

Nevermind , got it , stupid mistake

Hello,
I just discovered this project and i want to try this module before to build my MagicMirror !!!

i’ve got a problem with the facial recognition tools…
i use a usbcam, i try with fswebcam without problem, i enable the webcam in raspi-config but when i try capture.py, i’ve got a error

Capturing positive training images.
Type c (and press enter) to capture an image.
Press Ctrl-C to quit.

Can you help me ?

@lepetitnicolas To my knowledge , capture .py only works with the built in webcam , that is , the pi camera module . Plus , if you are already taking images via fswebcam , why not just select option 2 in capture.py, the one with using already existing .jpg files ? Why capture again ?

lepetitnicolas

thank. it works !

@sarthak18593
hello, where do you find those names ???
sorry but i don’t know where i need to change the “nane” …

i try the facial recognition tester …

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "facerecognition.py", line 18, in <module>
    import lib.face as face
  File "/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Facial-Recognition-Tools/facerecognition_tester/lib/face.py", line 10, in <module>
    import config
  File "/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Facial-Recognition-Tools/facerecognition_tester/lib/config.py", line 18, in <module>
    personen = [Gael]
NameError: name 'Gael' is not defined

thank

paviro

@lepetitnicolas the array personen(really need to translate that into english :D ) should be personen = ["Gael"] else it will look for a variable called Gael which does not exist.

sarthak18593

@lepetitnicolas you will see the names as an output to running the train.py file , in the terminal window itself , copy paste from " [ " to "] " and save it. Place this text in personen as mentioned by @paviro and also place it in the config.js file . Hope this clears things up
