Facial Recognition for Raspberry Pi with OpenCV and Python (Updated Tutorial)

In this video we will be learning how to run *face recognition* on a *Raspberry Pi* with *OpenCV* and the face recognition library. We will be covering how to install the required packages and libraries, how to take photos and *train the model*, as well as *controlling hardware* with the detection results.

You have brilliantly explained so much, so well, in 12 minutes.

Folks have no idea how long this takes to do well!

Great Tutorial for 12 minutes completely worth it

Jaryd! I follow you on your own YouTube channel and loved all your videos making crazy stuff. I was shocked to randomly be looking into OpenCV videos to find you doing the tutorial. Love the walkthrough and this core electronics channel already!

thanks a lot sir, i have been looking for this for about 5 days for a project ...(a new subscriber here)🤗

[paranormaledits]

my teacher suggested me this channel, this is really helpfull. Thank you!

Great guide. Please keep up the good works. I really appreciate your effort.

Fantastic tutorial! This video was very easy to follow!

[gearscodeandfire]

Dude, you rule, great video
Also, Luke is pleasantly menacing; he is a good foil and i look forward to watching more videos!

Please make a video on pose detection with the same setup

4:43 I don’t have a “face recognition 7z” file does anyone know why?

[spartandani]

awesome video man! By any chance have you tested something like this using the Hailo npu hat for raspberry??

[robnowobilski]

I'm stuck, when trying to run the model_training.py, line 3 in the module, no module name face recognition is found.. (error) .. right at minute 6:52. when i get the error message an it runs not super simple (upside down smile)

Hey man great video!
do you know how to make the camera follow the pupil?
i want to build an eye -tracker using the raspi 5 and raspi moudle 3
thank you so much

Hi, thank you for the video, i could finally dip a toe in live image recognition and yolo. I found one thing - when installing ultralytics, just use pip install ultralytics, not the pip install ultralytics[export]. Export version took too long to install, was installing seems unneeded packages. Program works same with just ultralytics package. Tested on Pi 4 and Pi 5.

hello sir...May i ask a few question? if i want to take a snapshot whenever someone else(Unknown) person is detected, how the code must be modified? and the same camera(which is used for face recognition) can still be used to take a snapshot of the unknown person?

How is this any different from the GitHub project for the magic mirror “MMM-Face-Recognition-SMAI”? Are the installations any different?

[anseltom]

ERROR: THESE PACKAGES DO NOT MATCH THE HASHES FROM THE REQUIREMENTS FILE. If you have updated the package versions, please update the hashes. Otherwise, examine the package contents carefully; someone may have tampered with them. guys can you help to solve the error i am facing to install face recognition librarie in my raspberry pi 5

[WecreateNation-pt]

Can we integrate with 3.5 inch display, without the need of laptop ????

[kirilllee]

Can you make tutorial using Face Recognition as attendance?

[creeper]

But the thing is that why is it so slow i have done it with dlib it is extremely slow
