Hello, i want to know if it is possibile, during a video stream with a webcam, enroll new faces inside a folder, and without stopping the live face_recognition, identify the new faces enrolled. Or it is necessary start and close the software every time for enroll new faces?

Thank you, Great Project!

That's totally up to how you code you program. You can definitely implement things in a way where users are enrolled in real-time. Basically you just need to keep a database or list of known user encodings and add new encodings to the database whenever you find someone that is not in the database. Then you just check each frame against whatever is currently in the database table.

I'm working on an article now that happens to contain a simple demo of on-the-fly enrollment as part of the example, so watch out for that new on my machinelearningisfun.com site or my mailing list if you are interested. But there's a million ways you could implement this depending on your needs and there is no single correct answer.
