When you change the used face recognition module, for example, replace the Cognitec module with the Tevian  module with the VA module or vice versa, the biometric vectors are automatically re-generated. This is necessary because biometric vectors received by one face recognition module cannot be used by another.

The biometric vectors are also automatically re-generated when you switch the Tevian SDK VA SDK version or the face recognition and search algorithm of Tevian of VA and VideoIntellect 1.1 face recognition modules.

Info
titleNote

To switch between the used face recognition modules, use the Tevianthe VA.IdentificationAlgorithm registry key (see Registry keys reference guide, for details about working with the registry, see Working with Windows OS registry).


Note
titleAttention!
  • Re-generation of biometric vectors is available if initial vectors were received by the Face Intellect software not  not older than 5.2 version.
  • If the VisionLabs face face recognition module is used, then after updating the  Face Intellect 7.0 to a newer version, it is necessary to start re-generating vectors.

Info
titleNote

By default, the biometric vectors are re-generated on one CPU thread. Using the Update.CpuCoreCount registry key, you can set an arbitrary number of threads on which biometric vectors will be re-generated (see Registry keys reference guide).

You can also re-generate the biometric vectors manually. To do this:

  1. Left-click the the  icon (Face Recognition Server) in the Windows taskbar (system tray) (for details about the Face Recognition Server debug window, see Appendix 2. Debug window).
  2. In the opened window, select Tools -> Recreate firs.
  3. Wait for completion of biometric vectors re-generation.

Note
titleAttention!

Errors may occur during the biometric vectors re-generation process.

For example, the error below may occur due to the fact that the new face recognition module SDK or the algorithm of the Tevian VA ALG2 face recognition module cannot recognize a face on a poor quality quality image and recreate a vector due to its better and more demanding recognition capabilities. Therefore, such image can be skipped.

If Intellect malfunctions after the vectors re-generation, do the following:

  1. Shutdown Intellect.
  2. Run FaceRecognitionTool.exe tool stored at: <Intellect installation folder>\Modules.
  3. Specify required settings - in the Path field specify the path to the folder where the data will be uploaded to (e.g. C:\Backup).

  4. Upload the data.

    titleNote

    Find more information on FaceRecognitionTool.exe in Face Recognition tool utility for extracting captured and reference faces from the database section.


  5. Execute the following script in the database manager (e.g. SQL Server Management Studio):

    Code Block
    languagesql
    USE [Fir]
    GO
    DECLARE	@return_value int
    EXEC	@return_value = [dbo].[spReset]
    SELECT	'Return Value' = @return_value
    GO


  6. Start Intellect and upload images from the folder specified in the Path field to the reference face database (see Selecting a way to upload an image to the reference face database).
