Title: Anyone here good with Python an OpenCV (Facial recognition)?
Post by: joehop67 on June 23, 2014, 01:44:32 AM
Hi there,

Besides being an avid bitcoin fanatic, I also happen to be an AI developer also. I came across this one application that mixed AI with facial recognition in Python. It is actually pretty cool, it detects your face and when you enter the camera's view, it talks to you.

The reason I am asking is because I want to expand this project however I am not very proficient in Python I mainly do work in C and web languages but for some reason I seem to be lost when it comes to Python. There are only two things I want to do with it at the moment. That would be adding multiple face recognition (as in, when someone else comes into the frame it says something like "Hello to you also" or something.) and detect when faces leave the frame (so that it would say "Goodbye" whenever someone leaves) everything is setup with the message triggers and stuff however I don't know how to extend this capability. I am slowly learning Python but this is beyond where I am at now. I would easily be able to extend the AI part of it (AI languages are incredibly easy) but I cannot extend the visual portion.

So basically what I'm asking is would someone mind giving me a hand? I mean, you don't have to do the programming (unless you want to :P ) but possibly point me in the right direction.

If you could help with the programming PM me and we can discuss it if you would like.

Either way, Thanks a lot!

Cheers!
