Hi,

Fserver requires haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml to be in the same directory as you run the Fserver. The file was missing in the package, but now It has been uploaded in the repository in the face_recognition directory.

Cheers, Pouyan

Hi Just updated and did a rosmake the new files is in the face_recognition directory but i still get the same error

rosmake in not necessary again. you should just run the Fserver from the directory in which haarcascade_frontface_alt.xml is placed. For example : 1- copy haarcascade_frontface_alt.xml to /home/new_dir 2-cd /home/new_dir 3-rosrun face_recognition Fserver. Let me know if it works :)

You might also wish to put the data folder (containing sample pictures) and the train.txt file(which list the training examples) in the same directory. As all these are in the face_recognition directory by default, simply try : 1-roscd face_recognition 2-rosrun face_recognition Fserver

Running from the installation directory was the key the server started and i was able to acquire a face Thanks

Depending on the current directory being the package directory is very unfriendly for people using `roslaunch`. Perhaps a future release might provide a more flexible access mechanism?

joq ( 2012-01-05 02:05:58 -0500 )edit

As mentioned above, the program searches for its input files in its working directory which is not necessarily the package directory. In 'roslaunch', you can set the working directory using 'cwd' attribute to point to the directory in which necessary input files are placed.

Pouyan ( 2012-01-05 08:11:39 -0500 )edit

That is really not the recommended way to use `roslaunch`. I am not even sure it works. Have you tried it?

joq ( 2012-01-05 09:14:54 -0500 )edit

I just tried it and i cant get it to work it shows a error when i use the directory if i use node or ROS_HOME and put the file in those locations i get the file not found error

hi pouyan, i'm using face_recognition package. i have changed threshold level between 70 to 80, because i felt default threshold is too heavy to detect a known person. threshold=88 works only when both person and camera are static. The problem is when an unknown person comes in the camera view, any name in the database is printing out like sergio, pouyan. can i get help to solve this issue.. Thank You.

I think you could use more training images for each face, lets say 100 instead of the current 25, to increase the precision and then playing with the threshold to get the best configuration.

which camera you used for training faces? just curious for checking camera clarity. i trained with 75 images initially, for a single person. trained persons are identified well and good. but problem persists with unknown person. The problem may be because of web camera i'm using and its clarity.

The face_recognition code is from Shervine Emami, you can find a link to his webpage in the face_recognition ROS wiki page. I haven't tested the performance extensively myself. Anyway, false positive answers for unknown persons should be eliminated using a higher confidence threshold.
