Hi @ros
this is a hot topic in research, and doing anything fancy is probably going to require a lot of thought and effort. For an overview of the topic checkout this article. My advice is not to leap into doing anything involving bayesian sensor, but to start as simple as possible. For example if one model is doing well in daytime, and another in low light, then use a simple time based rule to determine which model to use. In the meantime as you develop more sophisticated rules, keep a log of model results and try to spot any patterns that will be useful, e.g. which model does well and when. This would be very interesting to see and help guide development for people like myself who spend more time developing and not enough time hands on with the tools.
Cheers

Can we use this system to recognize people in my household or this is just generic persons?

27

Just generic. For recognising faces locally try dlib or facebox

To use it, do I need to do all the steps from https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/google_cloud/? That is: enable billing for project? I still get error:

Cloud Vision API has not been used in project XXXXX before or it is disabled

I did enable it and still error :frowning:

29

Yeah getting the settings right on GCP can be confusing. If you get tired trying tryout Sighthound

30

I did but Sighthound is less accurate. Lately it took flower as person :wink: I sent the very same image to GCP and no mistake. But it has one big advantage over GCP -> no need to set billing card…

31

Yes that is an advantage :slight_smile:
All of the services will make mistakes sometimes, and they are also probably making a different tradeoff of speed vs accuracy

Hi @robmarkcole , thanks for another great component. been lookin for this for a while. Working great except that one issue. sometime it recognises me as “man” but not " person". hence not triggering the automation. Is not man a person? (no pun intended)

33

Google choose the labels - I noticed that and its a bit wierd. Please create a feature request on the repo explaining the solution

anyone able to get the targets attribute working?

have tried

target:
      - person
      - car
      - wildlife

but get this:

Invalid config for [image_processing.google_vision]: value should be a string for dictionary value @ data['target']. Got ['person', 'car', 'wildlife']. (See ?, line ?).```
35

Only 1 target is possible with this integration. Chechout my amazon rekognition integration instead

Have you an idea ?
Thanks

Appears a dependency got upgraded somewhere breaking the integration.
Sorry but I have too many projects to maintain and google vision is not a high priority, so unless someone wants to jump in with a fix I will archive this project on 1st Oct
