Hi to all, i made a webcam (+ servo) that can follow my face. I have a problem when my face is out of the screen..the servo continues to turn. This happens because the last read values ​​remained in the variables. Do you know if there is a variable or a flag that I can use to identify if a face is detected?

(i'm using Python 3.7)

Thank s

that can follow my face.

show, what youre doing to achieve this, please

because the last read values ​​remained in the variables

seems to be a problem in your code logic, again, we need to see it to help

Hi berak, thank s for the answer. I added the code. I hope you can help me. Bye

hi berak, everything works properly but i had one last question. I have seen that used LBPHFaceRecognizer the program is much slower. Do you think it's normal or something in the code that slows it down? Used only Haar cascade I get 25 frames per second, but if at the same time I use LBPHFaceRecognizer I get 9 frames ..

hmmm, check again, it should not be so, usually the cascades take a long time, and lbph is quite fast (also given, you only have 2 persons there). you also have conditional sleep() calls there, servo access and whatnot

you can also try to swap the lbph face reco for a dnn based one (OpenFace)

faces_detected will be an empty list, if it did not detect any

(just check the len())

are you sure, you understand the code above ?

Oh... .. O_O'...Hi berak, yes, you are right. Yesterday when I checked the code I did this: print (len(face)) .. instead of print(len(faces_detected)).THANK's FOR ALL! I owe you a coffee with croissant! :D
