compute_face_descriptor(): incompatible function arguments

[neilyoung]

• face_recognition version: 1.2.3
• Python version: 3.10.12
• Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04

Description

I'm running into a problem with a fresh installation of dlib and face_recognition according to the doc. The sample code I ran is https://github.com/ageitgey/face_recognition/blob/master/examples/facerec_from_webcam_faster.py

What I Did

• Provided obama.jpg and biden.jpg in the root of my project
• Created a test.py which is literally the sample code from_webcam_faster.py, but video capture replaced by RTSP input and video display replaced by image write. I can share the code, if required.

python3 test.py

I'm getting this (and I'm getting this with various other samples too, so I suppose some incompatibility between face_recognition and dlib):

~/dlibtest$ python3 test.py

Try this GRAY conversion before calling face_recognition.face_locations. It resolved this issue for me.

rgb_small_frame = small_frame[:, :, ::-1] rgb_small_frame = cv2.cvtColor(rgb_small_frame , cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB) face_locations = face_recognition.face_locations(rgb_small_frame)

[neilyoung]

Yes, that solved the issue. Thanks

It is working.
