face_recognition only works with obama. about face_recognition HOT 3 OPEN

you're most probably getting the error while calculating face_encodings - I had the same issue, it got resolved after I removed extra information from my image (metadata). This library seems to not work when your image has metadata.

@AbdurNawaz
hello，how to remove extra information from my image(metadata) ?

from face_recognition.

Maybe we can try cv2.imread to load imgs, as blow:

import cv2  
import face_recognition
import os 

root = './imgs/known_peoples/'

for name in os.listdir(root):
    img_path = os.path.join(root, name )
    img = cv2.imread(img_path)[:,:,::-1]
    num_face = len(face_recognition.face_encodings(img))
    print(name,  num_face)

The above code can correctly face_encodings face from personal face. The reason is, as @AbdurNawaz , that `cv2.imread' gets only the image data.
