Hi, can someone help me please in blow code. I want to use ESP32 camera to be my input stream instead of my webcam.

import cv2
import numpy as np
import face_recognition
import os
from datetime import datetime
path = 'Attendance'
images = []
classnamess = []
mylist = os.listdir(path)
print(mylist)
for cls in mylist:
    curImg = cv2.imread(f'{path}/{cls}')
    images.append(curImg)
    classnamess.append(os.path.splitext(cls)[0])
print(classnamess)
def findEncodings(images):
    encodelist= []
    for img in images:
        img = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
        encode = face_recognition.face_encodings(img)[0]
        encodelist.append(encode)
    return encodelist
def markAttendance(name):
    with open('attandancetable.csv','r+') as f:
        myDatalist = f.readlines()
        nameList =[]
        for line in myDatalist:
            entry = line.split(',')
            nameList.append(entry[1])
        if name not in nameList:
            now = datetime.now()
            dtstring = now.strftime('%D:%H:%M:%S')
            f.writelines(f'\n{name},{dtstring}')
encodeListKnown = findEncodings(images)
print('Encoding Complete')
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
while True:
    success, img = cap.read()
    imgS = cv2.resize(img, (0,0), None, 0.25,0.25)
    imgS = cv2.cvtColor(imgS, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
    facesCurFrame = face_recognition.face_locations(imgS)
    encodesCurFrame = face_recognition.face_encodings(imgS,facesCurFrame)
    for encodeFace,faceLoc in zip(encodesCurFrame,facesCurFrame):
        matches = face_recognition.compare_faces(encodeListKnown,encodeFace)
        faceDis = face_recognition.face_distance(encodeListKnown,encodeFace)
        print (faceDis)
        matchIndex = np.argmin(faceDis)
        if matches[matchIndex]:
            name = classnamess[matchIndex].upper()
            print (name)
            y1,x2,y2,x1 = faceLoc
            y1, x2, y2, x1 = y1*4,x2*4,y2*4,x1*4
            cv2.rectangle(img,(x1,y1),(x2,y2),(0,255,0),2)
            cv2.rectangle(img,(x1,y2-35),(x2,y2),(0,255,0),cv2.FILLED)
            cv2.putText(img,name,(x1+6,y2-6),cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX,1,(255,255,255),2)
            markAttendance(name)
    cv2.imshow('webcam',img)
    cv2.waitKey(1)

This code uses openCV library for face recognition. By default it use laptop webcam and I want to use ESP32-CAM camera to be my input instead of laptop webcam.
ESP32-CAM opens through an IP link in the browser, so how I can use this link in python?

It was very helpful, thank you.
But still I can not connect ESP32-CAM by this way, it looks like this kind of cameras not easy to connect with python.

Thank you very much.

What happens when you try? Have you access to the camera with other tools? Is the firewall configured properly?..

Cheers, Dominik

This camera has one way to access only through this link http://192.168.101.26 and there is no password or admin panel. I try to put this link put in not works. Only one person can access to camera at the time.
rtsp://192.168.101.26 I try link this also not works.

This is the error message:
File “C:/Users/Badar Al-s/pythonProject/Attandanceproject.py”, line 42
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(rtsp://192.168.101.26)
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

That is easy: you forgot the quotation marks, try:

cap = cv2.VideoCapture(“rtsp://192.168.101.26”)

instead…

Traceback (most recent call last):

It shows this error now

File “C:/Users/Badar Al-s/pythonProject/Attandanceproject.py”, line 46, in
imgS = cv2.resize(img, (0,0), None, 0.25,0.25)

says, that said error occured in line 46 of your Attandanceproject.py file, which seems to be:

imgS = cv2.resize(img, (0,0), None, 0.25,0.25)

where you can find ‘(0,0)’ as the new image size - which obviously is not a valid (as it is ‘empty’) size. The ‘None’ in the same line might as well be a or even the problem.
