Human face detection web does not work on ESP-EYE (ESP32)

Hi there!

I try to run human face detection web on ESP-EYE (ESP32) but it does not work.
I can build the project and can upload the firmware to ESP-EYE successfully. I can also access the web server, and live streaming is working. However, it does not show any green rectangle even I enable human face detection and recognition. It is only a live streaming and I cannot see any feedback from human face detection and recognition. I am using IDF V5.0 with ESP-WHO V1.1.0. I also make CONFIG_FREERTOS_PLACE_FUNCTIONS_INTO_FLASH=y as it looks like memory is not enough which I cannot build the project until I set this parameter to y.

Could someone share some ideas with me so I am able to run this project? Thanks!

Sometimes enabling face detection from the web interface isn't enough due to build-time config or runtime issues.

Check the web interface settings: Make sure "Face Detection" and "Face Recognition" are toggled on after startup.

Confirm in the logs (serial monitor): After toggling detection/recognition, you should see messages like:

Code: Select all

Enabling face detection
Enabling face recognition
If you don't see those logs, the toggles aren't being handled properly.

Hi there!
Thanks for your reply.
I have toggled both features and the serial output shows that both features change from 0 to 1.
But I still cannot see they are working. Do I need to check something else?

Cheers!
