Description

I try to do facial recognition system that generates and stores face encodings from images, then uses a webcam to detect and match faces in real-time. If a match is found, it displays "Face Detected"; otherwise, "Face Not Found." The processed video stream is sent for display, possibly for attendance or access control purposes..

What I Did

import cv2
import os
import face_recognition
import numpy as np
import cvzone
import pickle

def generate_frame():
    # Check if EncodeFile.p exists
    if not os.path.exists("EncodeFile.p"):
        logging.info("EncodeFile.p not found. Generating encodings...")

        image_files = os.listdir(images_path)

        known_encodings = []
        student_ids = []

        for file in image_files:
            img_path = os.path.join(images_path, file)

            if not (file.lower().endswith(".jpg") or file.lower().endswith(".png")):
                logging.warning(f"Skipping unsupported file format: {file}")
                continue

            try:
                img = cv2.imread(img_path)
                if img is None:
                    logging.error(f"Unable to read image {file}. Skipping.")
                    continue

                if img.ndim != 3 or img.shape[2] not in [3, 4]:
                    logging.warning(f"Skipping {file} due to unsupported channel format.")
                    continue

                if img.shape[2] == 4:  # Convert RGBA to RGB
                    img = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGRA2BGR)
                    logging.info(f"Converted {file} from RGBA to RGB.")

                encodings = face_recognition.face_encodings(img_rgb)

                if encodings:
                    known_encodings.append(encodings[0])
                    student_id = os.path.splitext(file)[0]
