Face Authentication Application

Application: Overview

The face authentication application is a cutting-edge software that can validate individuals sitting in front of a camera and the face given in the document ID (either office, passport, etc.) . Using advanced computer vision algorithms and faceNet model, the software can accurately detect and validate faces in real-time.

The application is designed to be user-friendly and can be used in a wide range of settings, including airports, public buildings, workplaces, law enforcement, and retail environments. With a simple and intuitive interface, users can easily validate new images with the document image IDs.

This kind of application makes it easier to automate the authentication process, thus minimizing the redundant human intervention.

It has following camera input modes.

Mode	RZ/V2L	RZ/V2H
USB Camera	Supported	Supported
MIPI Camera	Supported	-

Application: Build Stage

Note: User can skip to the next stage (deploy) if they do not want to build the application.
All pre-built binaries are provided.

Prerequisites

This section expects the user to have completed Step 5 of Getting Started Guide provided by Renesas.

After completion of the guide, the user is expected of following things.

AI SDK setup is done.
Following docker container is running on the host machine.

Board Docker container

RZ/V2L EVK rzv2l_ai_sdk_container

RZ/V2H EVK rzv2h_ai_sdk_container

Note: Docker environment is required for building the sample application.

Board	Docker container
RZ/V2L EVK	`rzv2l_ai_sdk_container`
RZ/V2H EVK	`rzv2h_ai_sdk_container`

Application File Generation

On your host machine, copy the repository from the GitHub to the desired location.
1. It is recommended to copy/clone the repository on the data folder, which is mounted on the Docker container.
```
cd <path_to_data_folder_on_host>/data
git clone https://github.com/renesas-rz/rzv_ai_sdk.git
```
Note: This command will download the whole repository, which include all other applications.
If you have already downloaded the repository of the same version, you may not need to run this command.
Run (or start) the docker container and open the bash terminal on the container.
E.g., for RZ/V2L, use the rzv2l_ai_sdk_container as the name of container created from rzv2l_ai_sdk_image docker image.

Note that all the build steps/commands listed below are executed on the docker container bash terminal.
Set your clone directory to the environment variable.
```
export PROJECT_PATH=/drp-ai_tvm/data/rzv_ai_sdk
```

Go to the application source code directory.

cd ${PROJECT_PATH}/Q02_face_authentication/src

Create and move to the build directory.
```
mkdir -p build && cd build
```

Build the application by following the commands below.
For RZ/V2L

cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=./toolchain/runtime.cmake ..
make -j$(nproc)

For RZ/V2H

cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=./toolchain/runtime.cmake -DV2H=ON ..
make -j$(nproc)

The following application file would be generated in the ${PROJECT_PATH}/Q02_face_authentication/src/build directory
- face_recognition

Application: Deploy Stage

Prerequisites

This section expects the user to have completed Step 7-1 of Getting Started Guide provided by Renesas.

After completion of the guide, the user is expected of following things.

microSD card setup is done.

File Configuration

For the ease of deployment all the deployable files and folders are provided in following folders.

Board	`EXE_DIR`
RZ/V2L EVK	exe_v2l
RZ/V2H EVK	exe_v2h

Each folder contains following items.

File	Details
facenet_model	Model object files for deployment.
face_rec_bg.jpg	Image for application background.
face_recognition	Application file.

Instruction

Copy the following files to the /home/root/tvm directory of the rootfs (SD Card) for the board.

File Details

All files in EXE_DIR directory Including deploy.so file.

face_recognition application file Generated the file according to Application File Generation
Check if libtvm_runtime.so exists under /usr/lib64 directory of the rootfs (SD card) on the board.

File	Details
All files in `EXE_DIR` directory	Including `deploy.so` file.
`face_recognition` application file	Generated the file according to Application File Generation

Folder structure in the rootfs (SD Card) would look like:

|-- usr
