don't stop bro. you're awesome

[@PristineMedal02]

I'd like to ask, is tensor cores required for this live face recognition? I have a ultrabook and I wonder if this can run on my laptop. If not, can you give me some projects using Python 3.12 and OpenCV with same features? thank u so much

[@hotviissp8]

code works in intelij but doesn't work when i pack it in .exe file via pyinstaller. firstly gives an error: "autograph is not available in this environment: functions lack code information. this is typical of some environments like the interactive python shell". then program starts to work, but tasks with face recognition doesn't do anything. what should i do?

[@honzosaurus42069-no_furry]

I think pyinstaller doesn't support all of the libraries for python, which sucks. I actually made a KZbin video downloader today, with tkinter and pytube. It worked, but when I packed it as an exe, it couldn't even run and gave me an error that I don't even remember.

[@Sternhammer89]

Hi, excellent tutorial. I am running this on a Macbook OSX 10.15.7, OpenCV version 4.6.0. First issue I had seemed to point to protobuf, so I uninstalled the current version and installed protobuf 4.21.5. Now when I start the program the only message I receive is: "2023-12-03 10:10:14.984020: I tensorflow/core/platform/cpu_feature_guard.cc:182] This TensorFlow binary is optimized to use available CPU instructions in performance-critical operations. To enable the following instructions: AVX2 FMA, in other operations, rebuild TensorFlow with the appropriate compiler flags." I get no video window?

[@Sternhammer89]

OK so I had spelt HERESHY incorrectly :-) should have been HERSHEY!! My bad. However I never seem to get a face match?

Sorry sorted now, seems to be working.

Hey man, great tutorial! But I would like to ask, what if u want to have multiple face reference?

[@jeffluminosity-staunch1579]

Just have another reference img.jpg and name it reference img 2.jpg and write Cv2.imread(reference img .jpg , reference img 2. jpg) and add 3 , 4 as many as you like just make sure to reduce the counter percentile in half(15%) per reference img since it is now looking for 2 or more faces per single frame that should do the trick.

[@kasozimarktum4925]

Hey man... mine doesn't work

[@jeffluminosity-staunch1579]

@@kasozimarktum4925 make sure that numpy and cv are up to date and also the first time you are going to start the program it will start by downloading the reference img that you had put in so it will take a bit more time at first to start you should see the img being downloaded in the terminal if the counter percentile makes it so that it keeps on triggering the download again and again just increase the percentile to 3500000000% (Something large) so that it may have time to download the img later just put counter back to normal. Hope this helps!

@@mohamedfatheddine1447 is your reference img file in the same folder as the program? if yes than know that your reference img must be taken at the same lighting as you are testing, If that does not work I will recommend to either look for errors in the code or to re-write the complete code again at this point it really comes down to how determined you are to have a security face recognition :)
