Reconocimiento facial Python(face_recognition)

Necesito adapatar el siguiente codigo:

import face_recognition
import picamera
import numpy as np

# Get a reference to the Raspberry Pi camera.
# If this fails, make sure you have a camera connected to the RPi and that you
# enabled your camera in raspi-config and rebooted first.
Camera = picamera.PiCamera()
camera.resolution = (320, 240)
output = np.empty((240, 320, 3), dtype=np.uint8)

# Load a sample picture and learn how to recognize it.

Print("Loading known face image(s)")
obama_image = face_recognition.load_image_file("obama_small.jpg")
obama_face_encoding = face_recognition.face_encodings(obama_image)[0]

# Initialize some variables
face_locations = []
face_encodings = []

while True:
    print("Capturing image.")
    # Grab a single frame of video from the RPi camera as a numpy array
    camera.capture(output, format="rgb")

    # Find all the faces and face encodings in the current frame of video
    face_locations = face_recognition.face_locations(output)
    print("Found {} faces in image.".Format(len(face_locations)))
    face_encodings = face_recognition.face_encodings(output, face_locations)

    # Loop over each face found in the frame to see if it's someone we know.
    For face_encoding in face_encodings:
        # See if the face is a match for the known face(s)
        match = face_recognition.compare_faces([obama_face_encoding], face_encoding)
        name = "<Unknown Person>"

        if match[0]:
            name = "Barack Obama"

        print("I see someone named {}!".format(name))




Para que  esto:

obama_image = face_recognition.load_image_file("obama_small.jpg")
obama_face_encoding = face_recognition.face_encodings(obama_image)[0]

No se este repitiendo, si no que esta guardado en una BD, pero no se que tipo de dato es obama_face_encoding .
