Raspberry Pi + OpenCV for Facial Recognition Training Course

Duration

21 hours (usually 3 days including breaks)

Requirements

  • Some programming experience
  • Experience with the Linux command line

Audience

  • Developers
  • Hardware/software technicians
  • Technical persons in all industries
  • Hobbyists

Overview

This instructor-led, live training introduces the software, hardware, and step-by-step process needed to build a facial recognition system from scratch. Facial Recognition is also known as Face Recognition.

The hardware used in this lab includes Rasberry Pi, a camera module, servos (optional), etc. Participants are responsible for purchasing these components themselves. The software used includes OpenCV, Linux, Python, etc.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

  • Install Linux, OpenCV and other software utilities and libraries on a Rasberry Pi.
  • Configure OpenCV to capture and detect facial images.
  • Understand the various options for packaging a Rasberry Pi system for use in real-world environments.
  • Adapt the system for a variety of use cases, including surveillance, identity verification, etc.

Format of the course

  • Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

Note

  • Other hardware and software options include: Arduino, OpenFace, Windows, etc. If you wish to use any of these, please contact us to arrange.

OpenFace: Creating Facial Recognition Systems Training Course

Duration

14 hours (usually 2 days including breaks)

Requirements

  • An understanding of Deep Learning and neural networks
  • Experience with Python
  • Experience with Torch

Overview

OpenFace is Python and Torch based open-source, real-time facial recognition software based on Google’s FaceNet research.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to use OpenFace’s components to create and deploy a sample facial recognition application.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

  • Work with OpenFace’s components, including dlib, OpenVC, Torch, and nn4 to implement face detection, alignment, and transformation
  • Apply OpenFace to real-world applications such as surveillance, identity verification, virtual reality, gaming, and identifying repeat customers, etc.

Audience

  • Developers
  • Data scientists

Format of the course

  • Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice
