Evaluation

Face Recognition

Steps to evaluate modes on lfw/cfp/agedb:

  1. download data from GDrive or BaiduDrive, code: z7hs
  2. cd eval/eval_recognition/ and extract the data in the folder
  3. evaluate the model by with eval.sh (e.g., ./eval.sh magface_epoch_00025.pth official 100)

Use eval_ijb.sh for evaluation on IJB-B (Gdrive orBaiduDrive code: iiwa) and IJB-C (Gdrive or BaiduDrive code: q6md). Please apply for permissions from NIST before your usage.

Quality Assessment

Steps to calculate face qualities (examples.ipynb is a toy example).

  1. extract features from faces with inference/gen_feat.py.
  2. calculate feature magnitudes with np.linalg.norm().

Plot the error-versus-reject curve:

  1. prepare the features (in the recognition step).
  2. cd eva/eval_quality and run eval_quality.sh (e.g., ./eval_quality.sh lfw).

Note: model used in the quality assessment session of the paper can be found here.

Basic Training

  1. install requirements.
  2. Align images to 112x112 pixels with 5 facial landmarks (code).
  3. Prepare a training list with format imgname 0 id 0 in each line (id starts from 0), as indicated here. In the paper, we employ MS1MV2 as the training dataset which can be downloaded from InsightFace (MS1M-ArcFace in DataZoo). Use rec2image.py to extract images.
  4. Modify parameters in run.sh/run_dist.sh/run_dist_cos.sh and run it.

Parallel Training

Note: Use Pytorch > 1.7 for this feature. Codes are mainly based on torchshard from Kaiyu Yue.

How to run:

  1. Update NCCL info (can be found with the command ifconfig) and port info in train_dist.py
  2. Set the number of gpus in here.
  3. [Optional. Not tested yet!] If training with multi-machines, modify node number.
  4. [Optional. Help needed as NAN can be reached during training.] Enable fp16 training by setiing --fp16 1 in run/run_dist.sh.
  5. run run/run_dist.sh.

Parallel training (Sec. 5.1 in ArcFace) can highly speed up training as well as reduce consumption of GPU memory. Here are some results.

Tips for MagFace

  1. In practical, one may want to finetune a existing model for either performance boosts or quality-aware ability. This is practicable (verified in our scenario) but requires a few modifications. Here are my recommended steps:
    • Generate features from a few samples by existing model and calculate their magnitudes.
    • Assume that magnitudes are distributed in [x1, x2], then modify parameters to meet l_a < x1, u_a > x2.
    • In our scenario, we have a model trained by ArcFace which produces magnitudes around 1. [l_a, u_a, l_m, u_m, l_g] =[1, 51, 0.45, 1, 5] is a good choice.
