? Requirements

⚙️ How to install tflite-runtime

You can easily install tflite-runtime from https://google-coral.github.io/py-repo/ with the following line:

pip3 install tflite-runtime --find-links https://google-coral.github.io/py-repo/tflite-runtime

⚙️ How to install the FaceIDLight package

Simply install the package via pip from git:

pip3 install git+https://github.com/martlgap/FaceIDLight

or if you do not have git installed on your system, install it directly from the wheel:

pip3 install https://github.com/Martlgap/FaceIDLight/releases/download/v.0.1/FaceIDLight-0.1-py3-none-any.whl

? Run Demo:

Run Python 3.8 and type in:

from FaceIDLight.demo import Demonstrator
Demonstrator().run()

You can select your own directory for gallery-images (*.png and *.jpg images are supported) by simply add
a keyword argument to the Demonstrator Class: Demonstrator(gal_dir=<full-path-to-your-gallery>)

You might change the webcam address ID. Do so via selecting a certain number for stream id:
Demonstrator(stream_id=<-1, 0, 1, 2, ...>)

Test the face-identification by simply holding a foto into camera. The provided sample_gallery includes images
from: (Andrew_Caldecott, Anja_Paerson, Choi_Sung-hong, Elizabeth_Schumacher,
Eva_Amurri, Jim_OBrien, Raul_Ibanez, Rubens_Barrichello, Takahiro_Mori)
