Facial Recognition - customize your mirror for every user!

I am struggling to get modules using a name class to work. Still waiting for an answer as well

Hey guys. I’m having difficulty using my webcam with the capture.py script. I’m able to use fswebcame and motion to capture video but I keep getting errors running the script. I’m using a the playstion eye as a webcam. Any ideas?

Hi there, maybe someone is able to help me out.
I am trying to run capture.py but getting this Error

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "capture.py", line 18, in 
      import lib.capture as capture
   File "/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Facial-Recognition-Tools/lib/capture.py", line 21, in 
     from . import config
   File "/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Facial-Recognition-Tools/lib/config.py", line 15, in 
     (CV_MAJOR_VER, CV_MINOR_VER, mv1, mv2) = cv2.__version__.split(".")
ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 4, got 3)

I am also facing the same issue. Any effort to resolve it will be appreciated.

Are you using OpenCV 3.3? Then i might can help you.

Got another problem. My picam is not able to open. I am using opencv 3.3.

Remember to set the name list environment variable FACE_USERS
Using default FACE_ALGORITM: 1
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "facerecognition.py", line 30, in 
camera = config.get_camera(preview)
File "/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Facial-Recognition-Tools/lib/config.py", line 101, in get_camera
return webcam.OpenCVCapture(device_id=0)
File "/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Facial-Recognition-Tools/lib/webcam.py", line 29, in __init__
self._camera.open()
TypeError: Required argument 'device' (pos 1) not found

any suggestions?

Hello!

I have an problem wirth the Facial Regonition Module. I have tried it with the PiCam and an normal webcam. It worked not really good with die webcam and after i’ve tried it with die PiCam it doesn’t work any more. I’ve updatet the config.js.

This is the npm output:

config.js:

On the mirror nothing is shown. {
			module: 'MMM-Facial-Recognition',
			config: {
				// 1=LBPH | 2=Fisher | 3=Eigen
				recognitionAlgorithm: 1,
				// Threshold for the confidence of a recognized face before it's considered a
				// positive match.  Confidence values below this threshold will be considered
				// a positive match because the lower the confidence value, or distance, the
				// more confident the algorithm is that the face was correctly detected.
				lbphThreshold: 50,
				fisherThreshold: 250,
				eigenThreshold: 3000,
				// force the use of a usb webcam on raspberry pi (on other platforms this is always true automatically)
				useUSBCam: true,
				// Path to your training xml
				trainingFile: 'modules/MMM-Facial-Recognition-Tools/training.xml',
				// recognition intervall in seconds (smaller number = faster but CPU intens!)
				interval: 1,
				// Logout delay after last recognition so that a user does not get instantly logged out if he turns away from the mirror for a few seconds
				logoutDelay: 15,
				// Array with usernames (copy and paste from training script)
				users: ['Jenny'],
				//Module set used for strangers and if no user is detected
				defaultClass: "default",
				//Set of modules which should be shown for every user
				everyoneClass: "everyone",
				// Boolean to toggle welcomeMessage
				welcomeMessage: true
			}

Any suggestions?

@mc_landin I’m at this stage as well! for some reason the classes dont change whats displayed when a new face is seen. So in this example the “default” is seen all the time and then when a generic face is seen then the “everyone” class isnt shown. Has anyone got this working?

            {
                    module: "updatenotification",
                    position: "top_bar",
                    classes: 'default'
            },
            {
                    module: "clock",
                    position: "top_left",
                    classes: 'everyone'
            },
            {
                    module: 'MMM-Facial-Recognition',
                    config: {
                            recognitionAlgorithm: 1, // 1=LBPH | 2=Fisher | 3=Eigen
                            // Threshold for the confidence of a recognized face before it's considered a

                            fisherThreshold: 250,
                            eigenThreshold: 3000,

Hi All, I have found out that if you want to use your USB webcam for training you can update the file https://github.com/paviro/MMM-Facial-Recognition-Tools/blob/master/lib/config.py in the appropriate directory with the following. for some reason it doesnt seem to want to fall over to the webcam so I just commented out the pi web cam and added the usb one.

def get_camera(preview=True):
    try:
#        from . import picam
#        capture = picam.OpenCVCapture(preview)
#        capture.start()
#        return capture
        from . import webcam
        return webcam.OpenCVCapture(device_id=0)
        capture.start()
        return capture
    except Exception:
        from . import webcam
        return webcam.OpenCVCapture(device_id=0)
