      Also one more thought: I’m thinking of turning the camera 90 degrees so that it takes a vertical image – better chance of capturing faces of people of different heights that – thinking myself as a tall adult vs my kids, 9 and 6 years old. I’m thinking a 2:3 image (or 9:16 in the case of an HD cam) would really work well here to turn a wide FoV to a “tall” FoV – perfect for people standing right in front of the mirror… If I just turn the camera 90 degrees, and use it to train and capture in that orientation, will the facial recognition algorithms work as-is (i.e.: Can they recognize a face turned sideways) or would the module need to be changed to rotate the capture first before feeding into the algorithm?

        I have read all posts in this thread. Is there realy no answer why the facerecognation in the testtool is so much better than in the MM-Module?

          @paviro I had a hard time getting this to play nicely with modules that show and hide themselves. I created a pull-request that addresses this:

          https://github.com/paviro/MMM-Facial-Recognition/pull/48

          Basically I added a lockString config option to each show and hide command, and when combined with another module that also uses a lockString the particular module is only visible when both have removed their respective lock strings.

          See here for details about visibility locking:

          cheers!

              @paviro I’ve switched to using the Pi cam for facial recognition, and my confidence numbers have improved significantly, but it still takes a good 5 seconds of standing absolutely still looking right at the camera to get it to work. I’ve trained the model with about 40 images of myself standing at various distances from the camera, sometimes looking right at it, other times staring blankly ahead (as if I were looking in the mirror).

              Is 5 seconds the best I can hope for, or does it work faster for others? I have the frequency configured to interval : 1 although I don’t see much difference between 1 and 2 (or anything smaller than 1).

                After a few months of sleep, I wake up my mirror
                i’ve just update the raspberry and the MagicMirror to the last version
                also this module (facial recognition) to see if it works better
                but when i try to make the training.xml with train.py, i’ve this error :

                Reading training images...

                  @lepetitnicolas Just saw this but here is the fix

                  cd home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Facial-Recognition-Tools
                  sudo pip install future --upgrade

                    This may not be an appropriate place but is there a good resource / tutorial for setting up / configuring the modules for the mirror? I’m specifically interested in facial recognition and the calendars - so far I only have the basic mirror installed.
