🧠 Algorithms & Models

1. Face Detection: YuNet (2025 SOTA)

Overview: YuNet is OpenCV's latest face detection model, achieving state-of-the-art performance.

Technical Details:

Architecture: Lightweight CNN with attention mechanisms
Input Size: Flexible (optimized for 320x240)
Output: Face bounding boxes + 5 facial landmarks
Performance: 30-60 FPS on CPU, 100+ FPS on GPU

Algorithm Steps:

def detect_faces_yunet(self, image):
    # 1. Preprocessing
    h, w = image.shape[:2]
    self.face_detector.setInputSize((w, h))
    
    # 2. Neural network inference
    _, faces = self.face_detector.detect(image)
    
    # 3. Confidence filtering
    valid_faces = []
    for face in faces:
        if face[14] >= self.detection_confidence:  # Confidence threshold: 0.8
            valid_faces.append(face)
    
    return valid_faces

2. Face Recognition: SFace (2025 SOTA)

Overview: SFace is OpenCV's advanced face recognition model using deep embeddings.

Technical Details:

Architecture: ResNet-based encoder
Embedding Size: 128-dimensional vectors
Distance Metric: Cosine similarity
Accuracy: 99.8% on LFW dataset

Algorithm Steps:

def extract_face_encoding_sface(self, image, face_data):
    # 1. Face alignment and cropping
    x, y, w, h = face_data[:4].astype(int)
    face_roi = image[y:y+h, x:x+w]
    
    # 2. Preprocessing for SFace
    face_aligned = cv2.resize(face_roi, (112, 112))
    
    # 3. Deep feature extraction
    feature = self.face_recognizer.feature(face_aligned)
    
    # 4. L2 normalization
    return feature.flatten()

3. Recognition Pipeline

Similarity Calculation:

def calculate_similarity(encoding1, encoding2):
    # Cosine similarity for face recognition
    similarity = np.dot(encoding1, encoding2) / (
        np.linalg.norm(encoding1) * np.linalg.norm(encoding2) + 1e-8
    )
    return similarity

Decision Logic:

Threshold: 0.6 (configurable)
Method: Best match above threshold
Fallback: "Unknown" if no match found

self.recognition_threshold = 0.6     # Face recognition threshold  
self.nms_threshold = 0.3            # Non-maximum suppression

Performance Settings

# Camera settings
self.input_size = (320, 240)        # Detection input size
self.recognition_size = (112, 112)  # Recognition input size

# Frame rate control
cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_FPS, 30)       # Camera FPS limit
cv2.waitKey(1)                       # Display refresh rate

File Paths

# Data directories
self.data_dir = Path("data")
self.known_faces_dir = self.data_dir / "known_faces"
self.models_dir = self.data_dir / "models"

Optimization Tips

Camera Resolution: Use 1280x720 for best balance
Detection Frequency: Process every 2nd frame for 2x performance
GPU Acceleration: Use CUDA with optimize_performance.py
Memory: Close other applications for smoother operation
ONNX Optimization: Run setup_onnx_gpu.py for GPU acceleration

🔧 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Camera Not Detected

# Check camera access
python -c "import cv2; print(cv2.VideoCapture(0).isOpened())"

# Solution: Try different camera indices (0, 1, 2)
# Or restart application and camera

Low Recognition Accuracy

Solution 1: Use 3D face modeling (option 2)
Solution 2: Add multiple photos per person
Solution 3: Ensure good lighting conditions
Solution 4: Lower recognition threshold (0.5-0.6)

Performance Issues

# Reduce input resolution
self.input_size = (240, 180)  # From (320, 240)

# Skip frames for processing
if frame_count % 2 == 0:  # Process every 2nd frame
    results = self.recognize_faces(frame)

ONNX Runtime Issues

# Diagnose ONNX runtime problems
python diagnose_onnx.py

# Fix CUDA-related issues
python fix_onnx_cuda.py
