Using the Face Recognition Tool utility

To load captured or reference faces from the database, do the following:

1. Click the Get all servers button (1) to display all the available face recognition servers.
   
2. In the Servers (2) field set the checkboxes next to the face recognition servers that will supply the data.
3. Specify the date and time of the start and the end of time interval for which data is to be loaded (3).
4. In the Mode (4) drop-down list select the loaded data type:
   1. Protocols – load the faces captured by the Face Recognition Server.
   2. Protocols with engine info – load the faces captured by a Face Recognition Server adding the name of recognition module in the end of each file.
   3. Big filesystem – load a large amount of data from the database. In this case data will be loaded according to special algorithm.
   4. Persons – load the reference faces added to the Face Recognition Server database.
5. Specify a path to the folder to which the data will be loaded in the Path field (5).

6. Click the Run button to load the data to the folder (6). The total number of faces loaded from the database will be displayed.
   The data will be loaded to folders corresponding to the names of video cameras by which the faces were captured.
   
   Two files will be loaded for each captured face – the corresponding vector in .bin format and the  image of the detected face in .jpg format. The name of each file has the following structure: [date and time] - [ID] - [recognition module].
   
   The faces added to the Face Recognition Server database are loaded to the Path: folder. For each .jpg file with an image of a captured face, a .json file with the same name will be placed in the same folder. The .json file contains the user's full name, department, comment and other data that are taken into account while loading images from the folder to the face database (see Face Intellect Operator's Guide, the Selecting a way to upload an image to the reference face database section).

   Note

   If there are forbidden characters (\/:*?"<>|) in the name of the reference face file added to the Face Recognition Server database, then these characters will be replaced with _ character.

   

7. Click the Load button (7) to display the loading time and the total size of the loaded vectors.
   
8. Click the Restore from CSV button (8) to restore the history of passes if the Fir database is lost. As a result, a window will be displayed, where it is necessary to open the .csv file (for details, see Restoring the history of passes if the Fir database is lost).
9. The log of the operations performed in the utility is displayed in the field (9).

Using the Face Recognition Tool utility is complete.
