# This is a demo of running face recognition on a Raspberry Pi. # This program will print out the names of anyone it recognizes to the console. # To run this, you need a Raspberry Pi 2 (or greater) with face_recognition and # the picamera[array] module installed. # You can follow this installation instructions to get your RPi set up: # https://gist.github.com/ageitgey/1ac8dbe8572f3f533df6269dab35df65 import face_recognition import picamera import numpy as np # Get a reference to the Raspberry Pi camera. # If this fails, make sure you have a camera connected to the RPi and that you # enabled your camera in raspi-config and rebooted first. camera = picamera.PiCamera() camera.resolution = (320, 240) output = np.empty((240, 320, 3), dtype=np.uint8) # Load a sample picture and learn how to recognize it. print("Loading known face image(s)") obama_image = face_recognition.load_image_file("obama_small.jpg") obama_face_encoding = face_recognition.face_encodings(obama_image)[0] # Initialize some variables face_locations = [] face_encodings = [] while True: print("Capturing image.") # Grab a single frame of video from the RPi camera as a numpy array camera.capture(output, format="rgb") # Find all the faces and face encodings in the current frame of video face_locations = face_recognition.face_locations(output) print("Found {} faces in image.".format(len(face_locations))) face_encodings = face_recognition.face_encodings(output, face_locations) # Loop over each face found in the frame to see if it's someone we know. for face_encoding in face_encodings: # See if the face is a match for the known face(s) match = face_recognition.compare_faces([obama_face_encoding], face_encoding) name = "" if match[0]: name = "Barack Obama" print("I see someone named {}!".format(name))
