Facial Recognition - customize your mirror for every user!

@paviro thanks for the help. How do I uninstall the picam? Is it just to remove picam.py?

[paviro]

Nooo! Don’t mess with the module code! I just added an option to force webcam use, checkout the updated code on GitHub :)

[YourhighnessLeender]

@paviro thanks paviro! Will do!

[benkej]

@paviro Thanks! I’ll add more images and try to recognize my face.
But It’s very interesting that facerecognition_tester can identify me only from this three images

[YourhighnessLeender]

@paviro thanks!!! 200+ images captured and it’s now working :-) :pray: just need to tweak the threshold to be a bit more forgiving.

[paviro]

@benkej as I stated the MagicMirror module need two identical identifies in a row :)
@YourhighnessLeender glad to hear :)

[benkej]

@paviro 223 positive images and no success :( maybe I have to add more :blush:
What is the best practice to take the pictures? Sit closer to picam and rotate the face or not move and shoot few picture?

[paviro]

I try to take pictures in different lighting conditions with slight changes in angle. One looking a bit down, one a bit to the left and so on.

[benkej]

@paviro ok, thank you

Not sure why, but got better performance with Fisher instead of LBPH

[paviro]

That’s why there are multiple algorithms :D Choose the one that works best for you :)

hi, is it possible to turn off the popup-window “Gesichtserkennung …” when a face is tracked?

[YourhighnessLeender]

@reaper81 just remove the notification module in config.js

[tosti007]

@YourhighnessLeender @reaper81 I would not advise removing the notification module, since then you wouldn’t be able to see any notification anymore. Instead I would suggest you to remove the lines in the MMM-Facial-Recognition.js file where they call this.sendNotification("SHOW_ALERT", here also something);

[paviro]

Added an option.
@tosti007 I am not sure its a good idea to advice people to change module code since it makes updating more dificult for them and could also break stuff.

[tosti007]

@paviro Yea that’s true, sorry for it, however I also don’t really think it’s advisable to disable the notifications in total. I see an option for a new configurable feature here? :)

[benkej]

@paviro it’s working now! Thank you :) I changed the algorithm from LBPH to Fisher regenerated the training.xml with train.py and my mirror can identify me :-D
unfortunately I have new problem.
Everything working great until only one person is in training.xml if it’s more then one person face is trained identify mirror the face but the name is always from the last person in the user list.

[reaper81]

@paviro Wow, that was realy fast, thanks. Where can I find the new Option? Can you add them in your Github-Documentation?

[tosti007]

@reaper81 you can find it in the readme, it’s welcomeMessage

[paviro]

@benkej Thats odd how does the tester react? :)
