Description

In Examples of face_recognition the code 'facerec_from_webcam_faster.py' works fine, but I wanted to make import the images easier, Now in the above code instead of manually writing the name and path of each image, I intend to create a function that would only take the folder path of the known images with image name as their original name, the function should be able to generate the face encoding of each image and would be able to create two lists with face encodings and face names respectively.
Any help would be appreciated.

Research direction

Start with examples/facerec_from_webcam_faster.py and inspect how known images are currently named, loaded, and encoded. The change is complete when the example accepts a known_pictures folder path and produces face-encoding and face-name lists from the images it contains.
