using folder of faces for live recog #1113

Open Azza71 opened 4 years ago

Python 2.7.12 + Linux Ubuntu 16.04

I am using the live recognition found in https://github.com/ageitgey/face_recognition/blob/master/examples/facerec_from_webcam_faster.py I would like to know if there is a way where I can either automate the process of adding the faces instead of manually coding them in, or if I can use a folder of images? This is because I want to allow the user to add faces to the folder (database of known people) without coding them in.

@Azza71 Do u mean you have multiple images in a folder? If that's the case you can do the following... https://paste.ofcode.org/sXqGQA4F5Wx49LWRzbE9YC

@Latestion I tried your code and added it to my code, but it doesn't let me use the folder. This is the error in the terminal... IOError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/home/mxhra/FacialRecognition_Database' This is the code... https://paste.ofcode.org/vHH3RspHVeBJTgFQhdKtfE
