Usage of Age / Gender etc. from Compreface

[Chreece]

Hello David,
Thank you very much for sharing your great project!
I think it is a must have for the Smart Home enthusiasts...

What do you think about adding support for the new plugins from Compreface like Age and Gender recognition?

I would like to read your thoughts...

Keep up helping the community :D

I'm glad you are finding the project useful and thank you for the suggestion!

I'd definitely love to support this feature. I was looking a little closer at it last night. Do you see this running at the same time recognition happens? Maybe showing all the age / gender info on that UI card element for each picture?

Hey @Chreece, I added support for this feature to the beta build if you want to test it out.

You'll just need to update the config.yml to pass in the face_plugins like so:

detectors:
  compreface:
    url: http:https://localhost:8000
    key: xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx
    face_plugins: age,gender

I've added two new badges to the UI if the values are present. I'm currently only accounting for the age and gender plugins.

Wow that was fast!

You are awesome!

That's exactly the way I would have it done...
I will try it and give my feedback.

[Chreece]

Yes it works as I would personally wanted!
Thank you David!

Awesome, I'm glad it's working for you. I'll close this for now and feel free to open up a new issue if you'd like to see anything else added.

compreface-json contains age and gender,
do the plugins send them over MQTT?

would be great

----edit: YES
