**deepface** is a lightweight [face recognition](https://sefiks.com/2018/08/06/deep-face-recognition-with-keras/) and facial attribute analysis ([age](https://sefiks.com/2019/02/13/apparent-age-and-gender-prediction-in-keras/), [gender](https://sefiks.com/2019/02/13/apparent-age-and-gender-prediction-in-keras/), [emotion](https://sefiks.com/2018/01/01/facial-expression-recognition-with-keras/) and [race](https://sefiks.com/2019/11/11/race-and-ethnicity-prediction-in-keras/)) framework for python. It is a hybrid face recognition framework wrapping **state-of-the-art** models: [`VGG-Face`](https://sefiks.com/2018/08/06/deep-face-recognition-with-keras/), [`Google FaceNet`](https://sefiks.com/2018/09/03/face-recognition-with-facenet-in-keras/), [`OpenFace`](https://sefiks.com/2019/07/21/face-recognition-with-openface-in-keras/), [`Facebook DeepFace`](https://sefiks.com/2020/02/17/face-recognition-with-facebook-deepface-in-keras/), [`DeepID`](https://sefiks.com/2020/06/16/face-recognition-with-deepid-in-keras/) and [`Dlib`](https://sefiks.com/2020/07/11/face-recognition-with-dlib-in-python/). The library is mainly based on Keras and TensorFlow.
|
||
|
||
## Installation
|
||
|
||
The easiest way to install deepface is to download it from [`PyPI`](https://pypi.org/project/deepface/).
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
pip install deepface
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Face Recognition
|
||
|
||
A modern [**face recognition pipeline**](https://sefiks.com/2020/05/01/a-gentle-introduction-to-face-recognition-in-deep-learning/) consists of 4 common stages: [detect](https://sefiks.com/2020/08/25/deep-face-detection-with-opencv-in-python/), [align](https://sefiks.com/2020/02/23/face-alignment-for-face-recognition-in-python-within-opencv/), [represent](https://sefiks.com/2018/08/06/deep-face-recognition-with-keras/) and [verify](https://sefiks.com/2020/05/22/fine-tuning-the-threshold-in-face-recognition/). **deepface** handles all these common stages in the background.
|
||
|
||
**Face Verification** - [`Demo`](https://youtu.be/KRCvkNCOphE)
|
||
|
||
Verification function under the deepface interface offers to verify face pairs as same person or different persons. You should pass face pairs as array instead of calling verify function in a for loop for the best practice. This will speed the function up dramatically and reduce the allocated memory.
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
from deepface import DeepFace
|
||
result = DeepFace.verify("img1.jpg", "img2.jpg")
|
||
#results = DeepFace.verify([['img1.jpg', 'img2.jpg'], ['img1.jpg', 'img3.jpg']])
|
||
print("Is verified: ", result["verified"])
|
||
```

||
|
||
**Face recognition** - [`Demo`](https://youtu.be/Hrjp-EStM_s)
|
||
|
||
Face recognition requires to apply face verification several times. Herein, deepface offers an out-of-the-box find function to handle this action. It stores the representations of your facial database and you don't have to find it again and again. In this way, you can apply [face recognition](https://sefiks.com/2020/05/25/large-scale-face-recognition-for-deep-learning/) data set as well. The find function returns pandas data frame if a single image path is passed, and it returns list of pandas data frames if list of image paths are passed.
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
from deepface import DeepFace
|
||
import pandas as pd
|
||
df = DeepFace.find(img_path = "img1.jpg", db_path = "C:/workspace/my_db")
|
||
#dfs = DeepFace.find(img_path = ["img1.jpg", "img2.jpg"], db_path = "C:/workspace/my_db")
|
||
```
|
||

**Large Scale Face Recognition** - [`Demo with Elasticsearch`](https://youtu.be/i4GvuOmzKzo), [`Demo with Spotify Annoy`](https://youtu.be/Jpxm914o2xk)
|
||
|
||
Notice that face recognition has O(n) time complexity and this might be problematic for millions level data. Herein, approximate nearest neighbor (a-nn) algorithm reduces the time complexity dramatically. [Spotify Annoy](https://sefiks.com/2020/09/16/large-scale-face-recognition-with-spotify-annoy/), [Facebook Faiss](https://sefiks.com/2020/09/17/large-scale-face-recognition-with-facebook-faiss/) and [NMSLIB](https://sefiks.com/2020/09/19/large-scale-face-recognition-with-nmslib/) are amazing a-nn libraries. Besides, [Elasticsearch](https://sefiks.com/2020/11/27/large-scale-face-recognition-with-elasticsearch/) wraps an a-nn algorithm and it offers highly scalable feature. You should run deepface within those a-nn frameworks if you have really large scale data sets.
|
||
|
||
**Face recognition models** - [`Demo`](https://youtu.be/i_MOwvhbLdI)
|
||
|
||
Deepface is a **hybrid** face recognition package. It currently wraps the **state-of-the-art** face recognition models: [`VGG-Face`](https://sefiks.com/2018/08/06/deep-face-recognition-with-keras/) , [`Google FaceNet`](https://sefiks.com/2018/09/03/face-recognition-with-facenet-in-keras/), [`OpenFace`](https://sefiks.com/2019/07/21/face-recognition-with-openface-in-keras/), [`Facebook DeepFace`](https://sefiks.com/2020/02/17/face-recognition-with-facebook-deepface-in-keras/), [`DeepID`](https://sefiks.com/2020/06/16/face-recognition-with-deepid-in-keras/) and [`Dlib`](https://sefiks.com/2020/07/11/face-recognition-with-dlib-in-python/). The default configuration verifies faces with **VGG-Face** model. You can set the base model while verification as illustared below.
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
models = ["VGG-Face", "Facenet", "OpenFace", "DeepFace", "DeepID", "Dlib"]
|
||
for model in models:
|
||
result = DeepFace.verify("img1.jpg", "img2.jpg", model_name = model)
|
||
df = DeepFace.find(img_path = "img1.jpg", db_path = "C:/workspace/my_db", model_name = model)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
FaceNet, VGG-Face and Dlib [overperforms](https://youtu.be/i_MOwvhbLdI) than OpenFace, DeepFace and DeepID based on experiments.
|
||
|
||
**Similarity**
|
||
|
||
Face recognition models are regular [convolutional neural networks](https://sefiks.com/2018/03/23/convolutional-autoencoder-clustering-images-with-neural-networks/) and they are responsible to represent faces as vectors. Decision of verification is based on the distance between vectors. We can classify pairs if its distance is less than a [threshold](https://sefiks.com/2020/05/22/fine-tuning-the-threshold-in-face-recognition/).
|
||
|
||
Distance could be found by different metrics such as [Cosine Similarity](https://sefiks.com/2018/08/13/cosine-similarity-in-machine-learning/), Euclidean Distance and L2 form. The default configuration finds the **cosine similarity**. You can alternatively set the similarity metric while verification as demostratred below.
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
metrics = ["cosine", "euclidean", "euclidean_l2"]
|
||
for metric in metrics:
|
||
result = DeepFace.verify("img1.jpg", "img2.jpg", distance_metric = metric)
|
||
df = DeepFace.find(img_path = "img1.jpg", db_path = "C:/workspace/my_db", distance_metric = metric)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Euclidean L2 form [seems](https://youtu.be/i_MOwvhbLdI) to be more stable than cosine and regular Euclidean distance based on experiments.
|
||
|
||
**Facial Attribute Analysis** - [`Demo`](https://youtu.be/GT2UeN85BdA)
|
||
|
||
Deepface also offers facial attribute analysis including [`age`](https://sefiks.com/2019/02/13/apparent-age-and-gender-prediction-in-keras/), [`gender`](https://sefiks.com/2019/02/13/apparent-age-and-gender-prediction-in-keras/), [`facial expression`](https://sefiks.com/2018/01/01/facial-expression-recognition-with-keras/) (including angry, fear, neutral, sad, disgust, happy and surprise) and [`race`](https://sefiks.com/2019/11/11/race-and-ethnicity-prediction-in-keras/) (including asian, white, middle eastern, indian, latino and black) predictions. Analysis function under the DeepFace interface is used to find demography of a face.
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
from deepface import DeepFace
|
||
obj = DeepFace.analyze("img4.jpg", actions = ['age', 'gender', 'race', 'emotion'])
|
||
#objs = DeepFace.analyze(["img1.jpg", "img2.jpg", "img3.jpg"]) #analyzing multiple faces same time
|
||
print(obj["age"]," years old ",obj["dominant_race"]," ",obj["dominant_emotion"]," ", obj["gender"])
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<p align="center"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/serengil/deepface/master/icon/stock-2.jpg" width="95%" height="95%"></p>
|
||
|
||
**Streaming and Real Time Analysis** - [`Demo`](https://youtu.be/-c9sSJcx6wI)
|
||
|
||
You can run deepface for real time videos as well.
|
||
|
||
Calling stream function under the DeepFace interface will access your webcam and apply both face recognition and facial attribute analysis. Stream function expects a database folder including face images. VGG-Face is the default face recognition model and cosine similarity is the default distance metric similar to verify function. The function starts to analyze if it can focus a face sequantially 5 frames. Then, it shows results 5 seconds.
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
from deepface import DeepFace
|
||
DeepFace.stream("C:/User/Sefik/Desktop/database")
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<p align="center"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/serengil/deepface/master/icon/stock-3.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"></p>
|
||
|
||
Even though face recognition is based on one-shot learning, you can use multiple face pictures of a person as well. You should rearrange your directory structure as illustrated below.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
user
|
||
├── database
|
||
│ ├── Alice
|
||
│ │ ├── Alice1.jpg
|
||
│ │ ├── Alice2.jpg
|
||
│ ├── Bob
|
||
│ │ ├── Bob.jpg
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Face Detectors** - [`Demo`](https://youtu.be/GZ2p2hj2H5k)
|
||
|
||
Face detection and alignment are early stages of a modern face recognition pipeline. [OpenCV haar cascade](https://sefiks.com/2020/02/23/face-alignment-for-face-recognition-in-python-within-opencv/), [SSD](https://sefiks.com/2020/08/25/deep-face-detection-with-opencv-in-python/), [Dlib](https://sefiks.com/2020/07/11/face-recognition-with-dlib-in-python/) and [MTCNN](https://sefiks.com/2020/09/09/deep-face-detection-with-mtcnn-in-python/) methods are wrapped in deepface as a detector. You can optionally pass a custom detector to functions in deepface interface. MTCNN is the default detector if you won't pass any detector.
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
backends = ['opencv', 'ssd', 'dlib', 'mtcnn']
|
||
for backend in backends:
|
||
#face detection and alignment
|
||
detected_face = DeepFace.detectFace("img.jpg", detector_backend = backend)
|
||
|
||
#face verification
|
||
obj = DeepFace.verify("img1.jpg", "img2.jpg", detector_backend = backend)
|
||
|
||
#face recognition
|
||
df = DeepFace.find(img_path = "img.jpg", db_path = "my_db", detector_backend = backend)
|
||
|
||
#facial analysis
|
||
demography = DeepFace.analyze("img4.jpg", detector_backend = backend)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
[MTCNN](https://sefiks.com/2020/09/09/deep-face-detection-with-mtcnn-in-python/) seems to overperform in detection and alignment stages but it is slower than [SSD](https://sefiks.com/2020/08/25/deep-face-detection-with-opencv-in-python/).
|
||
|
||
**Ensemble learning for face recognition** - [`Demo`](https://youtu.be/EIBJJJ0ECXU)
|
||
|
||
A face recognition task can be handled by several models and similarity metrics. Herein, deepface offers a [special boosting and combination solution](https://sefiks.com/2020/06/03/mastering-face-recognition-with-ensemble-learning/) to improve the accuracy of a face recognition task. This provides a huge improvement on accuracy metrics. Human beings could have 97.53% score for face recognition tasks whereas this ensemble method passes the human level accuracy and gets 98.57% accuracy. On the other hand, this runs much slower than single models.
|
||
|
||
<p align="center"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/serengil/deepface/master/icon/stock-4.jpg" width="70%" height="70%"></p>
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
resp_obj = DeepFace.verify("img1.jpg", "img2.jpg", model_name = "Ensemble")
|
||
df = DeepFace.find(img_path = "img1.jpg", db_path = "my_db", model_name = "Ensemble")
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**API** - [`Demo`](https://youtu.be/HeKCQ6U9XmI)
|
||
|
||
Deepface serves an API as well. You can clone [`/api/api.py`](https://github.com/serengil/deepface/tree/master/api/api.py) and pass it to python command as an argument. This will get a rest service up. In this way, you can call deepface from an external system such as mobile app or web.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
python api.py
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
<p align="center"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/serengil/deepface/master/icon/deepface-api.jpg" width="90%" height="90%"></p>
|
||
|
||
The both face recognition and facial attribute analysis are covered in the API. You are expected to call these functions as http post methods. Service endpoints will be `http://127.0.0.1:5000/verify` for face recognition and `http://127.0.0.1:5000/analyze` for facial attribute analysis. You should pass input images as base64 encoded string in this case. [Here](https://github.com/serengil/deepface/tree/master/api), you can find a postman project.
|
||
|
||
**Passing pre-built face recognition models**
|
||
|
||
You can build models once and pass to deepface functions as well. This speeds you up if you are going to call deepface several times.
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
#face recognition
|
||
models = ['VGG-Face', 'Facenet', 'OpenFace', 'DeepFace', 'DeepID', 'Dlib']
|
||
for model_name in models:
|
||
model = DeepFace.build_model(model_name)
|
||
DeepFace.verify("img1.jpg", "img2.jpg", model_name = model_name, model = model)
|
||
|
||
#facial analysis
|
||
import json
|
||
models = {}
|
||
models["emotion"] = DeepFace.build_model('Emotion')
|
||
models["age"] = DeepFace.build_model('Age')
|
||
models["gender"] = DeepFace.build_model('Gender')
|
||
models["race"] = DeepFace.build_model('Race')
|
||
DeepFace.analyze("img1.jpg", models=models)
|
||
```
|
