I have this numpy.ndarray
generated by @ageitgey's facial_recognition Python library when I call the face_encodings
function. I need to save this data to Amazon's DynamoDB; but I'm not sure how.
The numpy.ndarray
that I get when I run the face_encodings
function, is a representation of a person's face, from a given image. I can use this data to compare to another image, and check if the person (represented as an encoding) is present or not in that image.
I thought that I could save the numpy.ndarray
as a binary (using numpy.ndarray.tobytes , but I'm not sure how to transform that binary (when I retrieve the data back from DynamoDB) back to numpy.ndarray
.
My code to compare should be something like this:
unknown_encoding = face_recognition.face_encodings(unknown_picture)[0]
# database_encoding_array should come from DynamoDB
results = face_recognition.compare_faces(database_encoding_array, unknown_encoding, tolerance=0.595)
# results is an array of booleans
In summary, I don't know what's the best way to save a numpy.ndarray
to DynamoDB, and how to query it at a later time.
You can try converting results
to a string of bytes using ndarray.tostring
. This should be straightforward to work with for Dynamo.
arr = np.array([1, 2])
encoded = arr.tostring()
encoded
# b'\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'
You can then restore the array using np.frombuffer
.
np.array_equal(arr, np.frombuffer(encoded, dtype=int))
# True
