Facial Recognition - customize your mirror for every user!

[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

@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 ?

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

    personen = [Gael]
NameError: name 'Gael' is not defined

thank

@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
