Documentation for Face PSIM 1.0.1.

Previous page Administrator's Guide. Introduction  Software and hardware requirements Next page

The base version of Axxon PSIM serves as the software platform for installing Face PSIM. The following external face recognition modules are integrated into Face PSIM software package: Cognitec (vendor — Cognitec), VA (vendor — Recognition Technologies), VisionLabs, STC, and VideoIntellect 1.1 (vendor — Raduga Technologies).

Recognition modules, supported by Face PSIM, operate on the following platforms:

Module x32x64
Cognitec
VisionLabs
VA
STC
VideoIntellect 1.1

Also the software package includes:

Objectx32x64
Face Recognition Server
Face recognition and search

Attention!

Face recognition can only be performed on the x64 platform. For the face recognition modules to work, it is necessary to set the Run x64 modules checkbox in the settings of the Computer object (see Configuring the use of 64-bit modules).

Face recognition modules operate through the interaction of the following Face PSIM objects:

  • Face detection system object;
  • Face recognition server system object;
  • Face recognition and search system object.

Recommended scheme for the Face PSIM-based video surveillance system looks like this:  

 

On this scheme Face detection is in use for face detection and vector generation on remote clients. Face recognition server is in use for online face recognition as well as face search in archive on the main client. The benefit of such division is that the more resource consuming process – vector generation – is performed on remote clients (their number can be increased). It allows creating a large system with common database of reference images and enlarging it at any moment.

All processes can be combined on the same computer for small systems (i.e. creation of Face detection and Face recognition server).

Moreover, there is a scheme when face detection is possible on remote clients only, and vector generation is performed on the main client (see item 7 of Configuring the recognition parameters of captured faces section).

It is also possible to create a corresponding Face recognition server object for each Face detection on one computer, which is selected as an external capture for the Face detection (see Configuring the Face Detection module). In this case, the detection and generation of face vectors using the Face detection objects will be performed in separate processes for each camera.

Attention!

Only one Face recognition server object can be created on one computer, which performs online recognition and face search in the archive. All other created Face recognition server objects can only be used to parallelize the detection calculations and the face vectors generation using the Face detection objects.
