AI Faces - Insightface plugin

[Jim Kirkpatrick]

I managed to get this installed under Ubuntu 24.04. It was a struggle as the install instructions are a bit basic and have you installing the application files in your home directory rather than a normal system directory. Once I was able to get it running, the plugins/faces/scripts/php faces_detect.php script ran and detected faces in all 86,000 images on our system. So far, so good. The faces show up and I can tag them with names.

When I ran the plugins/faces/scripts/php faces_tag.php script it began returning "Error from faces_service (HTTP 500)" messages for each file examined. Likewise clicking the Find matching faces link in any detected face returns the same error.

Http 500 is a generic error message, given when an unexpected condition was encountered and no more specific message is suitable. There's no corresponding messages in the Apache2 error log.

I'd appreciate any suggestions on how one might troubleshoot this.

Hi Jim,

Presumably the Python server is still running? Any issues should show up on the console there, if you're running it from the command line (advisable for testing).

Dan,

Thank you for responding. I rebooted our server and re-ran the service from the command line. 

Confession: I can follow instructions but am not understanding the python environment creation. The venv seems unaware of python modules installed on our server and require them to be installed within the virtual environment before the service will run. 

That said, here is the output produced when I tried using the Find matching faces function.

The python service is failing to connect to your database using the credentials supplied when you started the service.

These aren't needed to index faces but are needed for the face search, which explains what you're seeing.

I hope that points you in the right direction.

Dan

[Jim Kirkpatrick]

Dan,

Thank you for replying so quickly. I’ve checked several times to insure that the  string used to start the service is correct. I’ve obfuscated the password here but it is the same in my config.php and the command line args.

python3 -m faces_service --db-host=localhost --db-user=resourcespace_rw --db-pass=[password]

Our config.php lists:

$mysql_server = 'localhost';

$mysql_username = 'resourcespace_rw';

$mysql_password = [password];

$mysql_db = 'RSDB’;

Is it possible that the service is assuming the DB name is resourcespace? resourcespace/plugins/faces/scripts/faces_service.py has an argument ‘db_name' but I don’t see where that is defined.

It might be that the password needs to be quoted and/or escaped - obviously I can't see it to let you know if that's the case. If it's not just alphanumeric it's likely you do.

You don't need to worry about the database name - this is sent via the API from ResourceSpace as part of each request.

Once this is working you could set up a new database user just for the service that has read only access to the resource_face table only, as an additional security measure. The Python service needs no more than that.

Dan

[Jim Kirkpatrick]

Dan,

Thank you for pointing out what I had missed, a character in the password that needed to be escaped. It’s one of those times when you stare a something so long you no longer see the glaring error. faces_tag.php is merrily tagging as I write.

It will be a big help to have this functionality. I’d been doing it externally using the recognition engine in Adobe Lightroom, an extra step I can now retire.

How did you get the plugin installed? I'm following the instructions (AI Faces (InsightFace) | ResourceSpace) but when I get to step 5 I get a no such file or directory error for faces_service.py.

[Stuart Ball]

I was struggling with the connection details in the serviceD setup, once I put the password in quotes worked straight away,

It's bloody amazing plugin. We're using it as a digital archive of our sea cadet unit, so we have lots of faces, some of which have consent to publish some not. This will make it a much easier to restrict access to those photos of particular young people when it comes to sharing.

Thank you so much.

It’s in the same folder as the two PHP scripts:

resourcespace/plugins/faces/scripts

You either run it from there or give it a path.

Interesting... I'm running the latest version of RS and I don't have that plugin/folder.

[Jim Kirkpatrick]

Have you actually enabled the plugin via system > plugins?

It turns out several files were missing. Re-running svn to upgrade fixed the issue.
