Enroll a new user
Authentication
Once you have enrolled, you can test authentication
Select Authenticate to authenticate you once. With the repeat button (double arrows next to Authenticate), the system will continuously attempt to authenticate you until you select Stop.
Deleting a user
Delete users by selecting the checkboxes next to their names, and then select the trash icon to delete them. This action cannot be undone – any users accidentally deleted must be re-enrolled. The top checkbox can be used to delete all enrolled users.
Settings
There are a number of configurable settings that allow you to customize the operation of your F450/F455.
Using the gear icon in the top right corner will open Settings.
Face Selection – If Single is selected, the device will return results only for one face, which is the best candidate found. When Multi is selected, the device will return results for all the faces detected in the frame. This is a small latency and power impact when running Multi as the pipeline is run on all the faces in the image.
Host Mode – By default, the user database information is saved on the F450/F455 device. By selecting Enabled, the user database information can be saved in another location.
Preview Format – Select which format to show for previews.
Dump Mode – Enabled turns on frame dumps but disables live preview. Frame dumps are located in a subfolder called dumps.
Security Level – This setting enables the ability to test an operating mode that supports partially covered faces (e.g. due to face masks). Medium confidence will allow authentication with greater tolerance, where High confidence might reject partially covered faces in some situations.
Operation Mode – This setting allows you to choose what features you wish to enable on the device.
- All runs all functionality for facial authentication including facial recognition and anti-spoofing of enrolled users. This mode offers the highest level of facial authentication.
- Detect runs only facial detection, not anti-spoofing, facial authentication, or facial recognition, regardless of whether or not the person is an enrolled user.
- Spoof runs anti-spoofing only, a method that distinguishes between genuine and fake faces.
- Recog runs facial recognition of enrolled users without anti-spoofing. This is not as secure as facial authentication that is performed in the All operation mode.
Camera Rotation – In situations where the camera needs to be rotated (for example, mounted upside down to conform to a specific industrial design), the operational mode should be set to visually correct the rotation.
Firmware Update – Selecting Browse will enable updating the firmware on the connected device as described in the following section.
Updating Firmware
You can download the latest firmware here.
F45x devices running firmware 5.7.0.301 or newer require a license for facial recognition and spoofing features to work.
