Face Recognition Description

This is a face recognition network based on Resnet, with support for training and evaluation on Ascend910.

ResNet (residual neural network) was proposed by Kaiming He and other four Chinese of Microsoft Research Institute. Through the use of ResNet unit, it successfully trained 152 layers of neural network, and won the championship in ilsvrc2015. The error rate on top 5 was 3.57%, and the parameter quantity was lower than vggnet, so the effect was very outstanding. Traditional convolution network or full connection network will have more or less information loss. At the same time, it will lead to the disappearance or explosion of gradient, which leads to the failure of deep network training. ResNet solves this problem to a certain extent. By passing the input information to the output, the integrity of the information is protected. The whole network only needs to learn the part of the difference between input and output, which simplifies the learning objectives and difficulties.The structure of ResNet can accelerate the training of neural network very quickly, and the accuracy of the model is also greatly improved. At the same time, ResNet is very popular, even can be directly used in the concept net network.

Model Architecture

Face Recognition uses a Resnet network for performing feature extraction, more details are show below:Link

Dataset

We use about 4.7 million face images as training dataset and 1.1 million as evaluating dataset in this example, and you can also use your own datasets or open source datasets (e.g. face_emore). The directory structure is as follows:

.
└─ dataset
  ├─ train dataset
    ├─ ID1
      ├─ ID1_0001.jpg
      ├─ ID1_0002.jpg
      ...
    ├─ ID2
      ...
    ├─ ID3

Running Example

Train

• Stand alone mode

  • base model

    cd ./scripts
    sh run_standalone_train_base.sh [USE_DEVICE_ID]
    

    for example:

    cd ./scripts
    sh run_standalone_train_base.sh 0
    

  • beta model

    cd ./scripts
    sh run_standalone_train_beta.sh [USE_DEVICE_ID]
    

    for example:

    cd ./scripts
    sh run_standalone_train_beta.sh 0
    

• Distribute mode (recommended)

  • base model

    cd ./scripts
    sh run_distribute_train_base.sh [RANK_TABLE]
    

    for example:

    cd ./scripts
    sh run_distribute_train_base.sh ./rank_table_8p.json

Convert model

If you want to infer the network on Ascend 310, you should convert the model to AIR:

cd ./scripts
sh run_export.sh [BATCH_SIZE] [USE_DEVICE_ID] [PRETRAINED_BACKBONE]

for example:

cd ./scripts
sh run_export.sh 16 0 ./0-1_1.ckpt
