Face recognition recognizing anyone as me
-
@saifkazi Indeed, it is quite time consuming. Try taking, say, about 20 pictures to start with to see if your results improve. If they don’t, take another 20 or so. The first 20 will still be there to use for training when you run it the second time.

Thanks Jeff for your help
One last thing is can I use other software other than fswebcam ? Like camera on Windows 10 ?because pic quality is quite good in that app it’s good rather than rpi3 fswebcam.Regards Saif

@saifkazi I’m not aware of anything else, but I’m not sure the quality is a product of the software so much as how the image is processed in preparation for facial recognition. From what I recall, the image is first lowered in resolution, then converted to greyscale, which would produce a visually low quality image.

I lightly modified the training software so that it loops on its own when taking pictures, so that by just standing a few minutes in front of the mirror it gets a lot of different picture.
That might be a solution for you maybe. -
@da4throux
What modifications you made on training software? -
@saifkazi I just checked to see if I still have the code but it’s gone with a module update :(
basically, I think I just modified capture.py in MMM-Facial-Recognition-Tools, and added a loop around the capture.capture(preview) with a wait time of 3 seconds (you get to see if the process was successful in the shell).Hope that help
