@MichiMauch Are You using Webcam ?

naktah

specify your user labels in the environment with

export FACE_USERS=Alice,Bob,Casey,Doug

im not sure what to do with this. do i have to write this in the terminal? because everytime i restart my pi, the facial recognition doesnt recognize my face

sdetweil

@naktah u need to put that in your logon profile

naktah

@sdetweil im not sure how to do that. can you show me how? im pretty much new to this stuff and this issue has been bothering me for days now.

Sneek

@naktah after writing the following command in the terminal:

python tools.train.py

you get some output with the users you have setup (remember the order). Assuming it gives you Alice,Bob,Casey,Doug, then you run this in the terminal:

export FACE_USERS=Alice,Bob,Casey,Doug

@SdeGeata Got the same error, did you resolve it?

sdetweil

@aniketdongare07 @SdeGeata the newer version of python only provide 3 version info strings. So that code needs to drop the 4th parm from the parse request

(CV_MAJOR_VER, CV_MINOR_VER, mv1) = cv2.

@sdetweil I tried to do what you said and in turn I got the following error:```
