Facial Recognition - customize your mirror for every user!

I have read all posts in this thread. Is there realy no answer why the facerecognation in the testtool is so much better than in the MM-Module?
-
@paviro I had a hard time getting this to play nicely with modules that show and hide themselves. I created a pull-request that addresses this:
https://github.com/paviro/MMM-Facial-Recognition/pull/48
Basically I added a
lockString
config option to each show and hide command, and when combined with another module that also uses alockString
the particular module is only visible when both have removed their respective lock strings.See here for details about visibility locking:

@paviro I’ve switched to using the Pi cam for facial recognition, and my confidence numbers have improved significantly, but it still takes a good 5 seconds of standing absolutely still looking right at the camera to get it to work. I’ve trained the model with about 40 images of myself standing at various distances from the camera, sometimes looking right at it, other times staring blankly ahead (as if I were looking in the mirror).
Is 5 seconds the best I can hope for, or does it work faster for others? I have the frequency configured to
interval : 1
although I don’t see much difference between 1 and 2 (or anything smaller than 1). -
hello,
After a few months of sleep, I wake up my mirror
i’ve just update the raspberry and the MagicMirror to the last version
also this module (facial recognition) to see if it works better
but when i try to make the training.xml with train.py, i’ve this error :Reading training images... -------------------- Assign label 1 to Gael Assign label 2 to lepetitnicolas -------------------- OpenCV Error: Assertion failed (ssize.area() > 0) in resize, file /build/opencv-ISmtkH/opencv-2.4.9.1+dfsg/modules/imgproc/src/imgwarp.cpp, line 1834 Traceback (most recent call last): File "train.py", line 98, in faces.append(prepare_image(filename)) File "train.py", line 56, in prepare_image return face.resize(cv2.imread(filename, cv2.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE)) File "/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Facial-Recognition-Tools/lib/face.py", line 100, in resize interpolation=cv2.INTER_LANCZOS4) cv2.error: /build/opencv-ISmtkH/opencv-2.4.9.1+dfsg/modules/imgproc/src/imgwarp.cpp:1834: error: (-215) ssize.area() > 0 in function resize
anyone could help me ?
Thanks -
@lepetitnicolas Just saw this but here is the fix
cd home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Facial-Recognition-Tools
sudo pip install future --upgrade -
This may not be an appropriate place but is there a good resource / tutorial for setting up / configuring the modules for the mirror? I’m specifically interested in facial recognition and the calendars - so far I only have the basic mirror installed.

@nuckinfutz
thanks, i do what you saw but i have the same error… -

I can’t seem to get the module to work properly. I made pictures and generated a training.xml file. When I test said file it does identify me.
However, I can’t find a user array in the training file to add to the config.xml. When I add the only user present it still doesn’t work
