face recognition extension
#based on https://towardsdatascience.com/a-beginners-guide-to-building-your-own-face-recognition-system-to-creep-out-your-friends-df3f4c471d55
##install:
# pip3 install cmake
# pip3 install face_recognition
# or pip3 install boost & pip --no-cache-dir install face_recognition
# pip3 install numpy
# pip3 install dlib
# pip3 install opencv-python
##
##for ChromeOS Linux
# as per current security limitation web camera is not available on ChromeOS yet: https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/9145439?hl=en
# but it can be solved with Android Phone with "RTSP Camera Server" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.miv.rtspcamera&hl=en_CA)
# which can be remotely accessed via RTSP protocol and "mounted" locally via ffmpeg
# eg. ffmpeg -i rtsp://@192.168.0.12:5554/camera -acodec copy -vcodec copy -f v4l2 ~/video1
# or pyton video source can be switched to rtsp stream it self
#code forked and tweaked from https://github.com/ageitgey/face_recognition/blob/master/examples/facerec_from_webcam_faster.py
#to extend, just add more people into the known_people folder
