I will show you exactly how to have your Raspberry Pi credit card sized computer be able to spot human faces, how to train it to know your face and run code so that it will successfully identify you when it sees you. Then I'll take it another step and show you how you can use your face to control a servo attached to the Raspberry Pi. Open Source Software and Raspberry Pi go together hand in hand. Two excellent examples of this are OpenCV which provides a huge free resource to solve real-time computer vision problems and the Python Face Recognition Package which computes bounding boxes around a face in real-time. With it working we can do so many things with this now. Simply to start can now jump into the folders with the Python code and alter some lines of code so that every time a known face is seen it will send out signals via the GPIO pin of the Raspberry Pi. These GPIO pins can be used to control an almost endless amount of sensors and mechanisms. In this video I will get a servo to rotate when the Raspberry Pi system sees my face. If it sees someone else face or nobody's face it will not activate the servo. Huge thanks go to the Open-CV and Facial Recognition Package teams that work on the amazing machine learning software that we have running on the Raspberry Pi. Both are really good Open Source software. Also a huge thank you to Caroline Dunn whose created the amazing software that makes these two systems work so well together. There is just so much potential with this software to take projects to amazing places.

[@TheSj98]

Hello! Great tutorial! Is there a way where we can improve the frame rate? The program is able to recognize my face but the frame rate is very low. I am not using a raspberry pi camera, just a random USB webcam. Also, I am facing an issue where another person comes into frame, instead of showing "unknown", it displayed my name instead. I tried taking 40 images instead of 10 but the result is still the same. Please let me know if you have any way to solve this. Thank you!

[@Core-Electronics]

Can I ask which Raspberry Pi you are using? Using the highest Spec Pi possible is always my first recommendation. Using a TPU accelerator like the Google Coral edge TPU will also provide some signification FPS gains. Also it surprises me that it isn't identifying correctly, potentially providing it with fewer than 10 images will yield better results in your particular use case. Hope this helps!

[@112Famine]

[@Core-Electronics]

You can run face detection without a display. So if you can remotely/headlessly start the Python Script (using your phone like this guide here is a good way to do that - core-electronics.com.au/guides/raspcontrol-raspberry-pi/) it'll run just like normal. So if you ran that servo script, if you showed it your face it'll work as it should and activate that servo, with or without a display. Hope that helps 😊

Pycharm IDE is just a Python interpreter software just like Thonny IDE, so all the scripts here will work in either. If your using a Pi Camera all the scripts talked about here will work straight away, you will need to alter some values in the script if your using a USB webcam.

You can definitely alter the code so that it takes a snapshot/video recording every time a face is seen.

The easiest way I can think is to take in your own SD card 😊 that is the whole brain of the operation and once installed you can plug it into any similar version of Raspberry Pi and be smooth sailing. The other option is to create a Custom Image of your Raspberry Pi instance. This Image you can then use to flash other SD cards, speeding up the process as you will just need to flash the SD card with your already Face Installed image.

[@Core-Electronics]

Would definitely recommend going through the process outlined in the Written article. I ran into all kinds of problems trying to download Open-CV and getting it to run using different methods/paths.

Hi. Is it possible to create a GUI that can link this python script? If yes, what language can I use?

[@Core-Electronics]

Absolutely. I talked a little bit about GUI in my Python Workshop, I will link to it here - core-electronics.com.au/guides/python/Tkinter-Python/ There are also many different ways to create GUI, Java is a very common language to do so.

[@danielmittelman4941]

I can't find the setup link you mentioned we need to download?

[@Core-Electronics]

Here are the set up terminal commands - core-electronics.com.au/guides/face-identify-raspberry-pi/#Long - Follow through exactly and you'll be good to go 😊

[@jonnamaelastimoso562]

What algorithm did you use for face recognition?

[@Core-Electronics]

A number of parts all come together to make this possible. I link some of the most important packages here - pypi.org/project/face-recognition/ opencv.org/ pypi.org/project/imutils/

How can i add a door lock sistem with a solenoid using facial recognition ?

[@Core-Electronics]

You can use a majority of this script and customise it with knowledge from this guide - core-electronics.com.au/guides/solenoid-control-with-raspberry-pi-relay/ I also created a similar system using Biometric control in this guide here - core-electronics.com.au/guides/raspberry-pi/fingerprint-scanner-raspberry-pi/

Can I use a webcam instead of the camera module ?

[@Core-Electronics]

Absolutely you can use a USB powered web camera. Check the bottom of the demonstration section in the Full Written Up article to see how - core-electronics.com.au/guides/face-identify-raspberry-pi/#Demon

I pressed the Q key but the cam window won’t close ? Please help

[@jyvben1520]

typo on website : Facial Recogonition, why the Q in facial_req.py ?

[@Core-Electronics]

Cheers for pointing that out mate 😊 and that's just how the Python script has been named in reference to this script requiring faces that it has trained with to identify people.

[@vovantoan5786]

Hi guy. Fps in my project is less than 1. Can you instruct me to increase fps to recog faster? Thank you very much

[@Core-Electronics]

All depends on the hardware that you are using. If you want some real fast Facial Recognition that can get fed into a Raspberry Pi check out this product here - core-electronics.com.au/luxonis-oak-d-depthai-hardware.html

[@alfold2000]

Hey, can this be done with a wsb webcam?

[@Core-Electronics]

USB Web cameras definitely work. Come check the full written up article to see how to 😊

[@CrackedPi]

is it possible to use a raspberry 3 b or is it too slow?

[@Core-Electronics]

There was quite a big performance leap from the 3 to the 4, you might be able to do it, but it will also probably be a very slow experience unfortunately...

[@CrackedPi]

@@Core-Electronics I will try it

[@gapguy9564]

I want to increase fps. Its not usable at present. Using raspi 3b.

[@Core-Electronics]

If you interested on running Face Recognition on the edge (with your current hardware) I highly recommend checking out the OAK-D Lite - core-electronics.com.au/guides/oak-d-lite-raspberry-pi/ Your FPS will be through the roof!

[@saiSai-ex7eh]

could you mention,where are gpio pin numbers in code?

[@Core-Electronics]

In answer to both questions you can find the GPIO control that I added in | TimServo.py | at the top of the code (around line 12 and lower down in the looping section (around line 96). Happy coding 😊

[@glockcallme626]

what is the raspberry pi you are using and what model is it ?

[@Core-Electronics]

It is a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 4GB Ram

[@sheelpatel5914]

Hi can you please help me how to control dc motors from the image classsification results generated from raspberry pi image classification results

[@Core-Electronics]

Hit up this guide here mate 😊 You'll be controlling DC motors in no time - kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5KZpYampcyNors - Then you'll be able to take that knowledge and merge that into the Face Recognition script.

[@sheelpatel5914]

@@Core-Electronics Thanks a lot for the response 🙏👍

[@sheelpatel5914]

@@Core-Electronics And can I swap the script from face recognition to image classification ? It would work as expected or the coding needs to be done again ?

[@Core-Electronics]

Come check this guide here on doing exactly that 😊 core-electronics.com.au/guides/object-identify-raspberry-pi/
