This is a really quick and dirty facial recognition script which compares people in the view of the webcam to faces it can check in its people folder. If someone in the people folder isn't present, and you are unknown, then the script will tell you to go away.
Store a photo of your face in people with your name as the filename. Then on line 38 set owner to match your name.
Make sure that you install the following:
pip3 install cmake
pip3 install face_recognition
pip3 install numpy
pip3 install dlib
pip3 install opencv-pythonThen run:
python3 face-recogniser.py
It will identify your face and label it appropriately. Anyone not contained in the people folder is unknown.
If you then have a friend / colleague walk up to your machine while you are away, they'll be told to go away!
This isn't for any real purpose, it's just a script to mess around with. Facial recognition and computer vision are becoming much more simple thanks to high level libraries such as Face Recognition.
There are definitely things in the code which are a bit messy and this is not something that would ever be put in production...
