So if I carry a picture of your face I could get around it
As much as that may sound like a joke it isn't. I considered face recognition for access control to my house, then I thought of that, it's not the most secure thing in the world and can easily be bypassed so face recognition along with something else will now be used
@toymaker This is sounding great. Especially that it will work with EZ-B. I am building a stationary bot that will have a body arms and a head. The face rec will work great for when it sees either myself or my wife it will look up info from RSS feeds or web sites and rely the info to us. When it sees some one new it will introduce it self and chat with them. sort of like a physical Jarvis from iron man. I was going to call it that but @Rich and @jstarne1beat me to it. So his name will be 2Bits.
I was wondering if I could see the AI video also? This would enhance my programing even further, its so great that it will work with EZ-B.

Please count me in on the AI video! [email protected] @Rural Geek Your working on a bot (2Bits) with a head and torso...that makes two of us! I'll be posting progress videos soooon! @thetechguru..that sounds awesome...! Here on Salt Spring isl the deer are rampant! consuming peoples gardens! Everyone needs expensive fencing, arrgh . I am think it would also be cool to have an airsoft patrol bot working day and night! Try and post progress pics of your security bot:)
@irobot58 That would be cool a robot scare crow. My bot won't be worked on till the winter cause I am a bit tied up with my antique tractors. but when I start it I'll get it up here with pictures.
@rich, I use facial recognition built into Android 4.x to access my phone. In 4.1 they added the requirement to blink at least once to differentiate between a picture and a real person. I am sure that could be hacked too, but someone could also break a window and use the same brick to take out the security robot, and it would need to be someone who knows my setup to perform the more subtle hack. On the the other hand , I just publicly described my plans here, so maybe not such a good idea
Good point. There's always a way around. I mean I could use face recognition only to unlock my doors, nobody who lives close will know about it and fewer have a picture of my face that would be good enough to open the doors. But then that's my security system advertised on the internet... I think I will stick with good old fashioned keys.
@Alan The face recognition module can recognise thousands of different faces. I am not sure if your question is how many faces at one time? To answer this, it can do multiple faces at one time but you will be limited to your camera's resolution and field of view. The face recognition needs to see a whole face to be able to measure its feature vectors, with a low cost camera like the one supplied by EZ Robot, it works with 2 faces simultaneously but it would start to struggle if you had say 4 or more faces in the robots viewing area. To give you an idea of how this works, the photo below shows how the face recognition locks into the features of a face.
With the right threshold level set you should very rarely get a false positive, in fact in all the years I been using this system I have never actually seen a wrong recognition.
The photo is a good point, our FR module will recognise a face from a good quality photo, in fact I use this to demonstrate our Ai core's photographic associative memory, this is similar to humans associated memory. To explain this, if I show the Ai say a photo of Duncan Bannatyne from the TV program Dragons Den (Shark Tank in the States), it would recognise the face and automatically know that he is an entrepreneur and would automatically link him with the other Dragons and people like Richard Branson, it is doing this at the visual level. Humans use associative memory a lot, how many times has even just a smell of something bought back floods of memories that were associated with that smell in the past like say the smell of the sea bringing back memories of long ago holidays etc. On the AIMEC:4 robot the face recognition module is linked with a simple thermal imager so it also sees the face temperature of the target face, and this is currently how it differentiates a human from a photo.
Ruralgeek and Richard the video URL has been sent, again let me know if you have any questions about our Ai.

The IR is something I've been wanting in my bot forever. Am I the only restless kid?
