Big Bang: The Magic of MobileFace Technology

May 26, 2024 | Data Science

Welcome to the world of face recognition! Today, we’ll explore the innovative MobileFace technology that’s making waves in real-time facial detection. This is designed to be a user-friendly guide, so let’s dive into how you can implement this fantastic tool with ease.

Prerequisites

Before we jump into the implementation, ensure you have the following prerequisites:

  • Anaconda (optional but recommended)
  • MXNet and GluonCV – the easiest way to install
  • DLib (may be deprecated in the future) – Install using the command:
  • pip install dlib

Performance Overview

MobileFace offers impressive performance with different models dedicated to identification, detection, landmarks, pose, alignment, attributes, and tracking.

Identification Model Performance

Framework Size CPU LFW Target
MobileFace_Identification_V1 MXNet 3.40M 8.5ms – Actual Scene
MobileFace_Identification_V2 MXNet 3.41M 9ms 99.653% Benchmark
MobileFace_Identification_V3 MXNet 2.10M 3ms (state-of-the-art) 95.466% (baseline)

Implementation Steps

Ready to get started? Here’s how you can achieve fast face feature embedding with the various models provided:

  • To get fast face feature embedding with MXNet:
  • cd example
    python get_face_feature_v1_mxnet.py  # Choose v1, v2, or v3
  • To get fast face detection results with MXNet GluonCV:
  • cd example
    python get_face_boxes_gluoncv.py
  • To get fast face landmarks results with DLib:
  • cd example
    python get_face_landmark_dlib.py
  • To get fast face pose results:
  • cd example
    python get_face_pose.py
  • To get mobileface fast tracking results:
  • cd example
    python get_face_tracking_v1.py

Understanding the Code: An Analogy

Imagine you’re a chef preparing different recipes (each command represents a recipe). Each recipe has unique ingredients (parameters) and is cooked (executed) on various types of stoves (different frameworks). Just as a chef carefully selects the right ingredients and cooking method for each dish, the MobileFace commands are designed to fine-tune the face recognition process—ensuring you get the perfect “meal” (output) every time!

Troubleshooting Tips

If you run into challenges while implementing MobileFace, here are some troubleshooting ideas:

  • Ensure you have all dependencies properly installed.
  • Double-check the directory structure where scripts are located.
  • Consult the error messages for guidance on what went wrong.
  • Search for solutions on community forums or documentation.
