MMM-Face-Reco-DNN - All new Face Recognition

@ChrizZz
You can use my other Module https://github.com/nischi/MMM-MotionControl to control TV with my Face Reco Module. It communicate with Notifications and is not using an own Camera Stream.

oh, I didn’t know that you have a modul for it. But unfortunately it isn’t working on my Pi. Your modul doesn’t recognize a motion.

Do I have to uninstall the MMM-MotionDetector first?
Or do I need to run Face-Reco-DNN or the OCV3 version?

//edit: I think I know why it isn’t working. Maybe my display isn’t HDMI-CEC ready. I changed the command of your node_helper.js.
Default:

turnOn: function() {
		var self = this;
		exec('echo "on 0" | cec-client ' + this.config.comport + ' -s -d 1', function (error, stdout, stderr) {
			self.status = 'on';

My version:

turnOn: function() {
		var self = this;
		exec('vcgencmd display_power 1', function (error, stdout, stderr) {
			self.status = 'on';

Instead of sending a note to my display for standby I switch off the display_power. But I can’t wake up the display again. I think I have to use Face-Reco-DNN or Facial-Recognition-OCV3. Currently I don’t use them because I have to do the setup for the DNN version.

@ChrizZz
Yes you need to use one of the Face Reco Module that this works. Better my new Module ;) it’s much more accurate.

Thanks, I will use your new module.

During the setup I have another issue. It’s when I want to start encoding I get this error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "encode.py", line 5, in <module>
    from imutils import paths
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/imutils/__init__.py", line 8, in <module>
    from .convenience import translate
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/imutils/convenience.py", line 6, in <module>
    import cv2
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cv2'

I think it’s a problem of my OpenCV installation where I skipped the virtualenvs. In step 6 of the tutorial I should do this:

$ cd ~/.virtualenvs/cv/lib/python3.5/site-packages/
$ ln -s /usr/local/python/cv2/python-3.5/cv2.cpython-35m-arm-linux-gnueabihf.so cv2.so
$ cd ~

I skipped that because I have no idea where I have to create the link when I install this without virtualenvs. But it seems that I have to link it…

//edit: Key to success:

cd ~/opencv-4.0.0/build/lib/python3
sudo cp cv2.cpython-35m-arm-linux-gnueabihf.so /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/cv2.so

@ChrizZz
Thanks for your solution. Usually it’s because the link for cv2 is to the wrong python Version.
Happy to hear that it works.

is it common that it takes 40sec between face recognition and turning the TV on?

I see it happen after a freshly restarted pi, that it takes 40/45sec. The scenario is that I restart my pi, mm is autostarting and the TV is turned off by the module. Between the restart and the 1st face recognition is ~3min time.

@ChrizZz
Sound a little bit long to me, for me it works faster. But it took a while until they are startet. Do you use default settings?

This is a 3min part of the logs and the 1st time I was in front of the mirror and recognized by the module this evening.

My settings are:

			module: 'MMM-CECControl',
    				config: {
      					  // Comport of your Raspberry Pi
      					  comport: 'RPI',

    					}
		},

 				       // Use the module MMM-Facial-Recognition-OCV3
  				      useFacialRecognitionOCV3: false,
   				     // Use the module MMM-Face-Reco-DNN

					    }
		},

Depends on how you define working fine…The face recognition is working quite good, setting it up is easy with the advice you get in this thread. For me it’s just the “slow” reaction to activate the display which is an issue. But I’m optimistic that there is a way to solve it and I have a special environment with a display which hasn’t CEC control.
