Failed reco's and pictures without anyone in front of the cam about mmm-face-reco-dnn

[nischi]

maybe an issue with the swap file. but you shouldnt have this to high, otherwise you can burn your SD Card. I think Raspi 3 has to less power for dnn cnn

See #17 for the pictures in the "unknown" folder.
640x480 should be fine. Pictures are rescaled to 500px anyway for faster face detection...

[nischi]

Yes thats because the OpenCV detect a face. The detection is not perfect. Which method do you use for face detection?

I think it's possible to increase the resolution, but it will be much slower. And i'm not sure it would be better recognition after that.

[HorstBaerbel]

Images are rescaled to 500px anyway

MMM-Face-Reco-DNN/tools/facerecognition.py

Lines 94 to 97 in c1ae775

	# grab the frame from the threaded video stream and resize it
	# to 500px (to speedup processing)
	originalFrame = vs.read()
	frame = imutils.resize(originalFrame, width=500)

so I suspect a higher resolution would no make much of a difference. It might be better to make sure you use the newer DNN, not the HaarCascades method and add some more training pictures and update you encodings (see README).

I use DNN and I have lots of training pictures (400+). Maybe the problem is that I use a widescreen camera?

[nischi]

dnn is the recognition method (i realized that i wrote it a little bit wrong in the readme) the "detectionMethod" is the detection of the face which make some issues here. which settings do you have? hog or cnn?

[ChrizZz90]

Ah alright, I use hog. So I should try cnn, right?

[nischi]

yes, give a try

[ChrizZz90]

so I changed to cnn, created new embeddings with "python3 encode.py" and now my MM doesn't recognize anything. Do I have to add "-d cnn" by creating new embeddings?

[nischi]

its not necessary, should also work without. thats only how to detect faces while check your pictures. if that isnt a problem, you dont need to

[ChrizZz90]

after changing the type this modul doesn't recognize anything

[nischi]

any error message?

phu seems like a RAM issue. Do you use the "old" Raspberry Pi 3?

[ChrizZz90]

yes I use a Raspberry Pi 3 - 350 MB of 874 MB RAM is used when MM is running

Close it because no activity here. If still a case, you can reopen it.
