[digikam] [Bug 464266] Face detection is extremely slow - face recognition is almost impossible
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=464266 --- Comment #26 from Theliel --- The bug was opened due to speed problems when using facial detection. My comment was to point out that, at least with my equipment, as of today, the performance is adequate with about 2-3pps. I have not talked at any time about closing the bug, I have simply shown the results that I currently obtain For me at least, OpenCL works. It's not a dramatic improvement as long as it doesn't multiply the speed X times, but it works. Whether the performance is adequate or not would be a totally different debate. Obviously any improvement that can be made to it is welcome, and that is when Gilles himself encourages anyone who wants to collaborate and improve the current code. Obviously 404 photos is not an important sample, I have simply used it as a test. My current library is about 200k photos, there are currently about 150k people tags (about 600 different people), and another 80k detected and ignored. As you will understand, in my use, the speed to detect and identify is quite important. Greetings. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I also got an answer from Andy, which I was happy with. The other participants who contacted you about this have nothing to do with me. I am completely satisfied with digikam. Did the comments somehow end up on my account? I think you are all doing a very good job.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=464266 Theliel changed: What|Removed |Added CC||tahar...@gmail.com --- Comment #23 from Theliel --- Facial Recognition has evolved enormously, especially since the inclusion of Yolo-v3 (DNN barely recognizes me people, for me Yolo-v3 is mandatory). It is true that Yolo-v3 is slower than DNN, but currently the detection speed is more than acceptable. I just ran a couple of tests on a folder of 402 photos I had, almost all portraits and posed: (win11, 7700k, 4060ti) Yolo-v3: About 3pps (About 10,800 photos per hour) DNN: About 4pps Probably with CUDA it would be much faster, but I think they are acceptable times. On the other hand, if Apple wants to get rid of OpenCL to force developers to use Metal, it is a totally different matter, it is not precisely the fault of Digikam's dev. This is an open source project, if it were that easy to implement a new API, anyone could do it then... and that's obviously not the case. Currently as far as I know, OpenCV does not support Metal (and may not support it in the near future). The only way would be through Vulkan and MoltenVK, and it remains to be seen the performance in comparison. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=464266 --- Comment #22 from at...@electropositive.net --- We do know about opencv support in Mac. That's why I posted the link. It is no longer supported. The document you linked is completely unhelpful. What we need is the documentation to explain exactly what supporting libraries need to be installed to make this work. Someone knows. But so far I've not been able to find any information on how to get it to work. In contrast I've found dozens of threads on here, on reddit and elsewhere all complaining about the same things. It doesn't work and it is slow. No pointing people at code is going to answer these questions. I am not a developer even if I am extremely technical, code is not something that I can read. I understand already that opencv is mean to be able to work on all OS's (though not Mac any longer), but if it's not working it's pointless. At the end of the day, users of this software don't care about the technology, just a working solution, which we currently don't have. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=464266 --- Comment #21 from caulier.gil...@gmail.com --- Hi, As all the face detection/recognition uses OpenCV in background (the neural network is based on this), the famous OpenCL option enable or not the support of GPU in OpenCV computation. If you look in OpenCV doc, all is explained. https://opencv.org/opencl/ There are others GPU option in OPenCV, for ex with NVIDIA cards. About the Apple, the GPU is proprietary, so, i'm not sure that OpenCV can already support this. In all cases, there is NO plan to introduce Pythin code in digiKam. This is a C++ project, and it's already difficult to maintain 1.5M of code lines, so to support Python, no way. The DNN used in face engine is based on OpenCV. So the solution is located in this library (the code must be compiled with GPU support in your computer, as all is optional in OpenCV). If there is other GPU options from OpenCV to support, sure this must be done. You are invited to contribute and to create a merge resquest over the digiKam code as explained in contribute page : https://www.digikam.org/contribute/ Best regards Gilles Caulier -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=464266 --- Comment #20 from at...@electropositive.net --- I think everyone is aware that there is the option for GPU support, however it doesn't work. The option to not disable it exists, which does not mean to enable it. I assume it to mean that if your system has supported hardware and the right software libraries then it may choose to use it. The problem is there is no documentation either (also a common complaint). So while it may work, I have found no-one that understands how to make it work. It may be that it requires some kind of extra open-cv library (which I did try on Windows). Nothing I tried resulted in any extra speed from CPU processing on either Mac or Windows. I did not try linux yet as I couldn't get 8.3 for it easily. And the terminology is far from clear. Instead of 'Disable hardware acceleration OpenCL', we really need something that says the opposite 'enable hardware acceleration openCL'. Also, on Mac, as far as I know, OpenCL is deprecated and no longer available. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/metal/metal_sample_code_library/migrating_opengl_code_to_metal So it's not going to work there anyway, until we get Metal support. So to add to my list of priorities, I would say GPU support 'with proper documentation and requirements'. In the mean time, the solution seems to be download a trial version of Lightroom and do it there, then export to XMP and re-import into Digikam. I've just done it and it's unbelievably fast by comparison. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Even with working GPU support face recognition across many images can be slow, but my experience is it's probably still at least 10-100 times faster. At least if we had that, we wouldn't have to wait four days to find out it didn't work. This should be our number one priority in my opinion.

I download the updated AppImage version digiKam-7.8.0-x86-64.appimage and tried it and speeds were better, but the app constantly pops up the "not responding" box and asks if I want to "wait" for "force quit". Face recognition seems pretty slow, and the application core dumps a lot. My box is an 8-core 3.6 GHz machine with 128 GB RAM and DigiKam is constantly eating up all the RAM, then maxing out the swapfile, then crashing. I tried moving to an "internal MySQL" database and it's still terribly slow. My photo storage is an external RAIDZ2 ZFS array and I'm able to read at over 900 MB/sec and write at over 500 MB/sec, so I don't think it's a performance issue with my machine. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
