Facial Recognition with Python and the face_recognition library

Welcome to a tutorial for implementing the face recognition package for Python.
The purpose of this package is to make facial recognition (identifying a face) fairly simple.

All I’ll say is... no one has seen him and Snowden in the same room at the same time.

9:40 the reason you might not want to use f strings is because the os method is os independent. Not usually an issue, but your code is just slightly more robust using os.

Combine this with beautiful soup or selenium and you have built the same technology that scrapes suspect faces from social media. The use of libraries and API's have made it so easy to use artificial intelligence.

while executing "encoding = " line of code, IndexError: list index out of range occurs. That means that face was not recognized by the face_recognition package!! Thanks Sentdex ! Very awesome tutorials! Learning style is simply awesome 😃

Hello, great video! :D


If anyone is having this error on Windows 10:
NotADirectoryError: [WinError 267] The directory name is invalid: 'known_faces/9a7f3cd.png'. I got around this by using

for filename in os.path.join(KNOWN_FACES_DIR, name):

instead of

for filename in

This worked for me.
Good luck.

I was just writing a paper about this lib for my graduation great help + timing thx

Thanks for the tutorial. Taken your script as a basefor my face recognition script. Main difference is that i don't display the image with a square around the face, but it moves it to another folder with the name of the person in front of it. THX again!

Cool! I never expected python to be so powerful:D

I am so used to see you on the left downside corner, watching this makes me feel disoriented!

[hassenzarroug]

I am a huge fan of what you do! Thank you so much!
I hope that one day you make a serie about transfer learning.

[RameenFallschirmjager]

It's been a while. Actually today I was thinking about you and where you might be this long! I'm glad to see you again.

[laupetre]

This is awesome! Please continue this series!

Just 4 minutes in, I thought I was on a tech tutorial turns out it's a nice comedy lol
I love your humour !!

4:27 "my life" I know that feel bro

With a little more code you can save the known_faces numpy ndarry in something like an Excel file and the names in a file too so you aren't training the face recognition each time it runs, saves a lot of time.

OMG! Un video de Sentdex un domingo por la tarde? 👏👏👏 Ya mismo a verlo!!!
