Face recognition Database about esp32-cam-webserver HOT 9 CLOSED

Default face recognition functionality is very basic and useless without ability to reuse after rebooting.
Ability to Save/Restore would be fundamentally needed.

from esp32-cam-webserver.

Dont worry, there will be a v4 dev and maintenance branch..

from esp32-cam-webserver.

I just merged #49 which, as well as the preferences save/restore includes stubbed-out code and commented out html for the FaceDB save/restore operations and UI.

It also has Debug dumping of some facedb data sizes, I lost several hours going through the esp-face code without really getting a handle on how this works. It looks like the structures are dynamic with static indexes.

Needs more thought.

Saves/reads from flash memory; but needs a change to the board partition scheme and I wish to keep this project simple enough to use with a unmodified Arduino IDE.

otoh; it shows me what I need to save; and how to save it to a block device on a partition.. Good basis for a SPIFFS implementation.

I agree, but I also consider face recognition a low-priority in this project. I fully intend to remove it completely in V5 so that I can put OTA updates in.
I've just expanded this request, and added the 'Help wanted' label, I'd love to work on it but I need to put this project aside for a while after v3..

The LittleFS part of this is common to #20

OTA is important from programmer point of view but face recognition is very unique feature compare to other ip camera on the market (I bought it just for this). I would say please don't remove (of course this is your repo, decision ), or keep a git branch with it. If you make an initial start point I may improve and ask merge request for your repo.

spiffs branch is a POC for preferences saving; but the initial commit there also shows how to read/write a C struct to spiffs. This should be doable for the face recognition db; by saving mtmn_config and id_list. (declared as static here)

I've just forked the 3.x branch into a maintenance mode.
4.x (going forward) has dropped face recognition entirely.
Closing this issue now as no longer relevant.
