Description

  • face_recognition version: 1.2.2
  • Python version: Both 2.7.5 and 3.6.5
  • Operating System: CentOS 7

Hello,
This code below doesn't work for me for multiple known faces. It only compares first face in the array.

face_encodings = numpy.array(list(my_face_encodings.values()))
...
...
results = face_recognition.compare_faces(face_encodings, unknown_face_encoding)

unless i do this. use a for loop. code below works but why not the one above?

face_encodings = numpy.array(list(my_face_encodings.values()))
...
...
for kface in face_encodings:
    results = face_recognition.compare_faces([kface], unknown_face_encoding)

what might be wrong that compare_faces does not accept my array?
