facenet-pytorch-glint360k

Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04 (you may face issues importing the packages from the requirements.yml file if your OS differs).

A PyTorch implementation of the FaceNet [1] paper for training a facial recognition model using Triplet Loss. Training is done on the glint360k [4] dataset containing around 17 million face images distributed on 360k human identities. Evaluation is done on the Labeled Faces in the Wild [3] dataset. Please note that no overlapping idenities were removed as far as I am aware there is no metadata file for glint360k unless I am mistaken. Previous experiments were conducted using the VGGFace2 [2] dataset as well.

The datasets face images were tightly-cropped by using the MTCNN Face Detection model in David Sandberg's facenet repository. For more information, and download links for the cropped datasets, please check the Training and Testing Datasets section.

A pre-trained model on tripet loss with an accuracy of 98.45% on the LFW dataset is provided in the pre-trained model section. Although I would only use it for very small-scale facial recognition.

Please let me know if you find mistakes and errors, or improvement ideas for the code and for future training experiments. Feedback would be greatly appreciated as this is work in progress.

How to import and use the pre-trained model

Note: The facial recognition model should be used with a face detection model (preferably the MTCNN Face Detection Model from David Sandberg's facenet repository that was used to crop the training and test datasets for this model). The face detection model would predict the bounding box coordinates of human face in an input image then the face would be cropped and resized to size 140x140 and then inputted to the facial recognition model. Using images with no tightly-cropped face images by a face detection model as input to the facial recognition model would yield bad results. For a working example please check my other repository. I intend to do a pytorch version of that repository once I manage to train a facial recognition model with satisfactory LFW results.

  1. Download the model (.pt) file from the link above into your project.
  2. Import the 'resnet.py' and 'utils_resnet.py' modules from the 'models' folder.
  3. Create a new folder in your project ('model' in this example).
  4. Move the 'resnet.py', 'utils_resnet.py', and the 'model_resnet34_triplet.pt' files into the newly created 'model' folder.
  5. Instantiate the model like the following example:
import torch
import torchvision.transforms as transforms
import cv2
from model.resnet import Resnet34Triplet

flag_gpu_available = torch.cuda.is_available()
if flag_gpu_available:
    device = torch.device("cuda")
else:
    device = torch.device("cpu")

checkpoint = torch.load('model/model_resnet34_triplet.pt', map_location=device)
model = Resnet34Triplet(embedding_dimension=checkpoint['embedding_dimension'])
model.load_state_dict(checkpoint['model_state_dict'])
best_distance_threshold = checkpoint['best_distance_threshold']

model.to(device)
model.eval()

preprocess = transforms.Compose([
  transforms.ToPILImage(),
  transforms.Resize(size=140),  # Pre-trained model uses 140x140 input images
  transforms.ToTensor(),
  transforms.Normalize(
      mean=[0.6071, 0.4609, 0.3944],  # Normalization settings for the model, the calculated mean and std values
      std=[0.2457, 0.2175, 0.2129]     # for the RGB channels of the tightly-cropped glint360k face dataset
  )
])

img = cv2.imread('face.jpg')  # Or from a cv2 video capture stream

# Note that you need to use a face detection model here to crop the face from the image and then
#  create a new face image object that will be inputted to the facial recognition model later.

# Convert the image from BGR color (which OpenCV uses) to RGB color
img = img[:, :, ::-1]

img = preprocess(img)
img = img.unsqueeze(0)
img = img.to(device)

embedding = model(img)

# Turn embedding Torch Tensor to Numpy array
embedding = embedding.cpu().detach().numpy()

Training and Testing Datasets

  • Original datasets download links:

  • Download the cropped face datasets using the MTCNN Face Detection model that are used for training and testing the model:

    • glint360k training dataset (224x224): Drive
    • VGGFace2 training dataset (224x224): Drive
    • Labeled Faces in the wild testing dataset (224x224): Drive
  • Training datasets file paths csv files (to be put inside the 'datasets' folder):

  • For cropping the original face datasets using the David Sandberg 'facenet' repository MTCNN Face Detection model:

    • For face cropping for all three datasets; I used David Sandberg's face cropping script via MTCNN (Multi-task Cascaded Convolutional Neural Networks) from his 'facenet' repository: Steps to follow here and here. I used --image_size 224 --margin 0. and removed the extra files resulting from the script (bounding box text files). Running 6 python processes on an i9-9900KF CPU overclocked to 5Ghz took around 13 hours on the VGGFace2 dataset and some days for the glint360k dataset. Managing to run the workload on CUDA would make the process several times faster but I had issues with CUDA 9 on my system.

Model Training

Notes:

  • Training triplets will be generated at the beginning of each epoch and will be saved in the 'datasets/generated_triplets' directory as numpy files that can be loaded at the beginning of an epoch to start training without having to do the triplet generation step from scratch if required (see the --training_triplets_path argument).
  • Each triplet batch will be constrained to a number of human identities (see the --num_human_identities_per_batch argument).

 

  1. Generate a csv file containing the image paths of the dataset by navigating to the datasets folder and running generate_csv_files.py. Or by downloading the csv files from the Training and Testing Datasets section and inserting the files into the 'datasets' folder:

    usage: generate_csv_files.py [-h] --dataroot DATAROOT [--csv_name CSV_NAME]
    
    Generating csv file for triplet loss!
    
    optional arguments:
      -h, --help            show this help message and exit
      --dataroot DATAROOT, -d DATAROOT
                            (REQUIRED) Absolute path to the dataset folder to
                            generate a csv file containing the paths of the images
                            for triplet loss.
      --csv_name CSV_NAME   Required name of the csv file to be generated.
                            (default: 'vggface2.csv')
    
  2. Type in python train_triplet_loss.py -h to see the list of training options. Note: '--dataroot' and '--lfw' arguments are required.

  3. To train run:

    python train_triplet_loss.py --dataroot "absolute path to dataset folder" --lfw "absolute path to LFW dataset folder"
    
  4. To resume training from a model checkpoint run:

    python train_triplet_loss.py --resume "path to model checkpoint: (model.pt file)" --dataroot "absolute path to dataset folder" --lfw "absolute path to LFW dataset folder"
    
  5. (Optional) To resume training from a model checkpoint but with skipping the triplet generation process for the first epoch if the triplets file was already generated; run:

    python train_triplet_loss.py --training_triplets_path "datasets/generated_triplets/[name_of_file_here].npy" --resume "path to model checkpoint: (model.pt file)" --dataroot "absolute path to dataset folder" --lfw "absolute path to LFW dataset folder"
    
    usage: train_triplet_loss.py [-h] --dataroot DATAROOT --lfw LFW
