Enable Face Attribute Recognition

Subject to your needs, you can enable automatic recognition of such face attributes as gender, age, emotions, glasses, beard, and face mask. This functionality can be activated on both GPU- and CPU-accelerated video object detectors.

To enable automatic recognition of face attributes, do the following:

Open the /etc/findface-extraction-api.ini configuration file.
```
sudo vi /etc/findface-extraction-api.ini
```

Specify the relevant recognition models in the extractors section, as shown in the example below. Be sure to indicate the right acceleration type for each model, matching the acceleration type of findface-extraction-api: CPU or GPU. Be aware that findface-extraction-api on CPU can work only with CPU-models, while findface-extraction-api on GPU supports both CPU- and GPU-models.

extractors:
  face_age: faceattr/age.v2.gpu.fnk
  face_beard: faceattr/beard.v0.gpu.fnk
  face_emotions: faceattr/emotions.v1.gpu.fnk
  face_gender: faceattr/gender.v2.gpu.fnk
  face_glasses3: faceattr/glasses3.v0.gpu.fnk
  face_medmask3: faceattr/medmask3.v2.gpu.fnk

The following models are available:

Face attribute	Acceleration	Configure as follows
age	CPU	`face_age: faceattr/age.v2.cpu.fnk`
age	GPU	`face_age: faceattr/age.v2.gpu.fnk`
gender	CPU	`face_gender: faceattr/gender.v2.cpu.fnk`
gender	GPU	`face_gender: faceattr/gender.v2.gpu.fnk`
emotions	CPU	`face_emotions: faceattr/emotions.v1.cpu.fnk`
emotions	GPU	`face_emotions: faceattr/emotions.v1.gpu.fnk`
glasses	CPU	`face_glasses3: faceattr/glasses3.v0.cpu.fnk`
glasses	GPU	`face_glasses3: faceattr/glasses3.v0.gpu.fnk`
beard	CPU	`face_beard: faceattr/beard.v0.cpu.fnk`
beard	GPU	`face_beard: faceattr/beard.v0.gpu.fnk`
face mask	CPU	`face_medmask3: faceattr/medmask3.v2.cpu.fnk`
face mask	GPU	`face_medmask3: faceattr/medmask3.v2.gpu.fnk`

Tip

To leave a recognition model disabled, pass the empty value "" to the relevant parameter. Do not remove the parameter itself. Otherwise, the system will be searching for the default model.

extractors:
  face_age: ""
  face_beard: ""
  face_emotions: ""
  face_gender: ""
  face_glasses3: ""
  face_medmask3: ""

Note

You can find face attribute recognition models at /usr/share/findface-data/models/faceattr/.

ls /usr/share/findface-data/models/faceattr/
age.v2.cpu.fnk  age.v2.gpu.fnk  beard.v0.cpu.fnk  beard.v0.gpu.fnk  emotions.v1.cpu.fnk  emotions.v1.gpu.fnk  gender.v2.cpu.fnk  gender.v2.gpu.fnk  glasses3.v0.cpu.fnk  glasses3.v0.gpu.fnk medmask3.v2.cpu.fnk medmask3.v2.gpu.fnk liveness.colombo.cpu.fnk liveness.colombo.gpu.fnk liveness.pacs.v0.cpu.fnk liveness.pacs.v0.gpu.fnk quality.v1.cpu.fnk quality.v1.gpu.fnk

Restart findface-extraction-api.

sudo systemctl restart findface-extraction-api

To display the face attribute recognition results in the event list, open the /etc/findface-security/config.py configuration file.
```
sudo vi /etc/findface-security/config.py
```

Specify the required models in the following line of the FFSECURITY section, subject to the list of enabled models:

FFSECURITY = {
    ...
    'FACE_EVENTS_FEATURES': ['gender', 'age', 'emotions', 'beard', 'glasses', 'medmask'],
    ...
}

Restart findface-security.

sudo systemctl restart findface-security
