GB-CosFace: Rethinking Softmax-based Face Recognition from the Perspective of Open Set Classification

This is the official pytorch implementation of the paper "GB-CosFace: Rethinking Softmax-based Face Recognition from the Perspective of Open Set Classification".(link)

Installation

a.Create a conda virtual environment and activate it.

conda create -n gb-cosface python=3.7 -y
conda activate gb-cosface

b. Install PyTorch and torchvision following the official instructions, e.g.,

conda install pytorch torchvision -c pytorch

Note: The CUDA version of the installed pytorch needs to match the runtime CUDA version.

c.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Datasets

We use MS1MV2 as the training set, and use several popular benchmarks as the validation set, including LFW, CFP-FP, CPLFW, AgeDB-30, and CALFW. Our training and validation data comes from Insightface. You can also download the data from this link.

We use IJB-B and IJB-C as the testing sets. Please apply for permissions from NIST before your usage.

Training

GB-CosFace

a. Edit the file "config.py", edit the "rec" and "val_root" paths to your dataset path.

b. Run the following command.

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=8 --nnodes=1 --node_rank=0 --master_addr="127.0.0.1" --master_port=1239 train.py --backbone_type iresnet100 --head_type BaseHead --loss_type GBCosFace --batchsize 64 --output [your saving dir] --eval_steps 4000

Testing

We release the GB-CosFace iresnet100 model in the original paper main text and the GB-MagFace model in the appendix.

Testing on IJBB

python eval_ijb.py --model-prefix [your backbone path] --image-path [your IJBB root] --result-dir [your save path] --batch-size 512 --backbone_type iresnet100 --target IJBC

Testing on IJBC

python eval_ijb.py --model-prefix [your backbone path] --image-path [your IJBC root] --result-dir [your save path] --batch-size 512 --backbone_type iresnet100 --target IJBC
