Here, I introduce another library named "Dlib", which is a computer vision library always cooped with opencv. So to run the demo, we need to install Dlib on our system. I found tutorials to install dlib, and it worked for my device (Win10). https://www.learnopencv.com/install-opencv-3-and-dlib-on-windows-python-only/ (I have tried and it did work well) https://www.pyimagesearch.com/2017/05/01/install-dlib-raspberry-pi/ (I haven't get a chance to test on my Pi) Note that to install on windows, make sure you have CMAKE and Visual Studio 2017 installed. 2. How to use: a. Add custom face dataset 1. Open "Facial_Recognition_Registration.py". 2. Change string variable "label" (at line 7) to your name, such as: label = "feier_zhang" 3. If using the laptop camera, make sure "cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)" (at line 19); If using the external WebCam, make sure "cap = cv2.VideoCapture(1)" (at line 19). 4. Run "Facial_Recognition_Registration.py" Your face dataset: 1. Folder "/Facial_images" -> "/face_rec" -> "/train", then you can see the folder of your name is in it. b. Train your face recognizer 1. In "Facial_Recognition_Wrapper.py". 2. Make sure line 230 (in the main function): mode = 'train' 3. Run c. Test on videostream 1. In "Facial_Recognition_Wrapper.py". 2. Make sure line 230 (in the main function): mode = 'test' 3. Make sure line 182 to match your imaging device, same as above a.3 4. Run welcome any try-out and comments!
