A python script teach_facebox.py to teach Machinebox/Facebox from a directory containing folders with images of faces, where the folder name is the name of the person/face to teach. The directory must contain folders of images with the structure:
person_1/
img1.jpg
img2.jpg
........
person_2/
image1.png
image2.png
..........
person_3/
image1.jpeg
image2.jpeg
.......... Allowed file extensions for images are: .jpg, .jpeg and .png.
Usage Run teach_facebox.py from the command line in the directory containing all the folders of images. The script assumes your Facebox is running on localhost:8080 and that it does not need authentication, if this isn't the case you will need to edit the IP, PORT, USERNAME and PASSWORD variables in teach_facebox.py.
Limits With a free license of Facebox you are limited to teaching 100 faces.
State file
Once you have trained facebox you can download the state file using:
curl -o state.facebox http://localhost:8080/facebox/state
If you restart facebox and lose the state, you can upload your saved state file using:
curl -X POST -F 'file=@state.facebox' http://localhost:8080/facebox/state
