Facial Recognition Module - Step by Step Guide

[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

Error on “python capture.py”

@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.

[aniketdongare07]

@sdetweil I tried to do what you said and in turn I got the following error:```
Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: ‘module’ object is not iterable

[sdetweil]

@aniketdongare07 you need the rest of the line cv2… I am on my phone, so cut/paste is a pain

(CV_MAJOR_VER, CV_MINOR_VER, mv1) = cv2.__version__.split(".")
