Facial Recognition - customize your mirror for every user!

[sunnysys]

@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…

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

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

@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 ?
