Auxiliary Function-Customize ID Name
Last revision 2026/01/20
The article provides a detailed guide on customizing ID names for enhanced recognition using algorithms, supporting only English names. It includes demonstration programs for Mind+, MakeCode, and Arduino, showcasing how to change 'Face:ID1' to 'Jack:ID1', improving the recognizability of objects and people.
You can change the corresponding name of the ID, for example: change “Face:ID1” to “Jack:ID1”, and “Color:ID1” to “Red:ID1”.
This function is used to name a people or object, and make the result of recognition more recognizable.
All 6 algorithms support customizing the ID name except line tracking. And only English names are supported.
Demonstration: Change the name of ID1 to Jack in face recognition
-
Mind+ Sample Program:

-
MakeCode Sample Program:

- Arduino Sample Program:
#include "HUSKYLENS.h"
HUSKYLENS huskylens;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(115200);
Wire.begin();
while (!huskylens.begin(Wire))
{
Serial.println(F("Begin failed!"));
delay(100);
}
while (!huskylens.setCustomName("Jack",1)) // bool setCustomName(String name,uint8_t id)
{
Serial.println(F("ID1 customname failed!"));
delay(100);
}
}
void loop()
{
}
Result
“Jack:ID1” will be shown on screen after HUSKYLENS learning the first face ID1. As shown below:
