Recognizing faces of "Game of Thrones" Character
This is fun project I did to learn about face recognition and because I was missing GOT episodes :-(
Link to Dataset - Google Drive Link
This project directory contains following files:
- dataset.py - used to create your own dataset
- face_encoding.py - used to create encoding for faces in dataset
- recognize_faces.py - used to test and recognize faces
Step 1: Create a directory named "dataset" and various sub-directories inside it with the names of people whose face you want to recognize. Run following command for various characters of Game of Thrones:
python dataset.py --query "Jon Snow" --output dataset/Jon_Snow
Step 2: Run following command to create encodings of all the faces. At last, it will save a serialized database containing encodings of various faces which will be used in the next step.
python face_encoding.py --dataset dataset --encodings encodings.pickle
Step 3: Run following command to recognize faces from "test" directory. Recognized faces will be saved in the "results" directory and are shown below.
python recognize_faces.py --image test/pic1.jpg
