Good to see so much of it functioning. Well done for getting to blog #10. I'm VERY impressed that you got there before Doug.

And thanks for introducing me to Scratch, something I'd never have tried without seeing it in your blogs. It's proving to be great fun to play with.

Hi Frank,

The project is looking really good, and it's a very cool demo!

I immediately started thinking of all sorts of use-cases for this - with voice recognition too, you could leave video messages for people, and the speech-to-text could search for names, and then replay the video snippet when the right person sat in front of the screen : ) Or an attendance system by the door at a classroom, or for automated printing of name-badges at events. I like the classroom idea, because it could be turned into a game - the kids who get timestamped for turning up promptly, get pushed up a scoreboard : ) Or it could gently suggest to them which way to walk if they entered the wrong class : )

Great job! It deserves all the attention of your audience

Maybe I have lost some detail in one of your previous blog posts. What is the use if the two knobs to the lest of the screen?

Frank,

A great all round project. It looks good and it works. I'm impressed with the tidy wires. I'm having an untidy wire situation at the present so any ideas on how to move to a tidy wire situation would be gratefully received.

Hi Frank,

Excellent work! It would make as great intelligent photo frame as well, displaying photo albums according to the person facing the frame.

As for improving the recognition accuracy, even when you provide only a small set of images for the learning, it would help if you pre-process the images before feeding it to the recognition algorithm.

Some typical pre-processing include:

cropping the image, so that only the face is included (no disturbance from background)
transforming the image to grayscale rather than colour
normalising the image (to reduce the noise)

There is a short article which gives you an idea here, and you can get some more ideas from this github project (there is a link to the project's article there as well). The best way is to try a few different approaches and see which one works best for you.

Great to see it all working. That must have been worth a few beers[View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-abaa7001-e0e5-4c8c-bb10-c06de57c29b8/contentimage_5F00_938.png:16:16]

There is a glitch and the video demonstration I uploaded stops halfway. The problem is on my end and I will fix it shortly.

UPDATE: Fixed and it is playing through now after putting it in mp4 format
