List of Storages ¶

FindFace Security uses the following data storages:

Tarantool-based biometric database that stores biometric samples (feature vectors) and face identification events.
Main system database based on PostgreSQL, that stores internal system data, dossiers, user accounts, and camera settings.
Directory /var/lib/findface-security/uploads that stores uploaded dossier photos, video files, and such event artifacts as full frames, face thumbnails, and normalized face images.
Directory /var/lib/ffupload/ that stores only such event artifacts as face thumbnails.

There are 3 galleries in the Tarantool-based biometric database:

ffsec_dossier_face: biometric samples extracted from dossier photos.
ffsec_events: biometric samples extracted from faces detected in the video.
ffsec_persons: centroids of persons (virtual biometric samples averaged across all person’s faces) and metadata.
