# Double Take



Unified UI and API for processing and training images for facial recognition.





  




## Why?



There's a lot of great open source software to perform facial recognition, but each of them behave differently. Double Take was created to abstract the complexities of the detection services and combine them into an easy to use UI and API.



## Features



- Responsive UI and API bundled into single [Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/jakowenko/double-take)

- Ability to [password protect](#authentication) UI and API

- Support for [multiple detectors](#supported-detectors)

- Train and untrain images for subjects

- Process images from [NVRs](#supported-nvrs)

- Publish results to [MQTT topics](#mqtt-1)

- [REST API](#api) can be invoked by other applications

- Disable detection based on a [schedule](#schedule)

- [Home Assistant Add-ons](https://github.com/jakowenko/double-take-hassio-addons)

- Preprocess images with [OpenCV](https://docs.opencv.org/4.6.0/d1/de5/classcv_1_1CascadeClassifier.html)



### Supported Architecture



- amd64

- arm64

- arm/v7



### Supported Detectors



- [CompreFace](https://github.com/exadel-inc/CompreFace)

- [Amazon Rekognition](https://aws.amazon.com/rekognition)

- [DeepStack](https://deepstack.cc)

- [Facebox](https://machinebox.io)



### Supported NVRs



- [Frigate](https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate)



## Integrations



### [Frigate](https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate)



Subscribe to Frigate's MQTT topics and process images for analysis.



```yaml

mqtt:

  host: localhost



frigate:

  url: http://localhost:5000

```



When the `frigate/events` topic is updated the API begins to process the [`snapshot.jpg`](https://blakeblackshear.github.io/frigate/usage/api/#apieventsidsnapshotjpg) and [`latest.jpg`](https://blakeblackshear.github.io/frigate/usage/api/#apicamera_namelatestjpgh300) images from Frigate's API. These images are passed from the API to the configured detector(s) until a match is found that meets the configured requirements. To improve the chances of finding a match, the processing of the images will repeat until the amount of retries is exhausted or a match is found.



When the `frigate/+/person/snapshot` topic is updated the API will process that image with the configured detector(s). It is recommended to increase the MQTT snapshot size in the [Frigate camera config](https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/index).



```yaml

cameras:

  front-door:

    mqtt:

      timestamp: False

      bounding_box: False

      crop: True

      quality: 100

      height: 500

```



If a match is found the image is saved to `/.storage/matches/`.



### [Home Assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io)



Trigger automations / notifications when images are processed.



If the MQTT integration is configured within Home Assistant, then sensors will automatically be created.



#### Notification Automation



This notification will work for both matches and unknown results. The message can be customized with any of the attributes from the entity.



```yaml

alias: Notify

trigger:

  - platform: state

    entity_id: sensor.double_take_david

  - platform: state

    entity_id: sensor.double_take_unknown

condition:

  - condition: template

    value_template: '{{ trigger.to_state.state != trigger.from_state.state }}'

action:

  - service: notify.mobile_app

    data:

      message: |-

        {% if trigger.to_state.attributes.match is defined %}

          {{trigger.to_state.attributes.friendly_name}} is near the {{trigger.to_state.state}} @ {{trigger.to_state.attributes.match.confidence}}% by {{trigger.to_state.attributes.match.detector}}:{{trigger.to_state.attributes.match.type}} taking {{trigger.to_state.attributes.attempts}} attempt(s) @ {{trigger.to_state.attributes.duration}} sec

        {% elif trigger.to_state.attributes.unknown is defined %}

          unknown is near the {{trigger.to_state.state}} @ {{trigger.to_state.attributes.unknown.confidence}}% by {{trigger.to_state.attributes.unknown.detector}}:{{trigger.to_state.attributes.unknown.type}} taking {{trigger.to_state.attributes.attempts}} attempt(s) @ {{trigger.to_state.attributes.duration}} sec

        {% endif %}

      data:

        attachment:

          url: |-

            {% if trigger.to_state.attributes.match is defined %}

              http://localhost:3000/api/storage/matches/{{trigger.to_state.attributes.match.filename}}?box=true&token={{trigger.to_state.attributes.token}}

            {% elif trigger.to_state.attributes.unknown is defined %}

               http://localhost:3000/api/storage/matches/{{trigger.to_state.attributes.unknown.filename}}?box=true&token={{trigger.to_state.attributes.token}}

            {% endif %}

        actions:

          - action: URI

            title: View Image

            uri: |-

              {% if trigger.to_state.attributes.match is defined %}

                http://localhost:3000/api/storage/matches/{{trigger.to_state.attributes.match.filename}}?box=true&token={{trigger.to_state.attributes.token}}

              {% elif trigger.to_state.attributes.unknown is defined %}

                 http://localhost:3000/api/storage/matches/{{trigger.to_state.attributes.unknown.filename}}?box=true&token={{trigger.to_state.attributes.token}}

              {% endif %}

mode: parallel

max: 10

```



### MQTT



Publish results to `double-take/matches/` and `double-take/cameras/`. The number of results will also be published to `double-take/cameras//person` and will reset back to `0` after 30 seconds.



Errors from the API will be published to `double-take/errors`.



```yaml

mqtt:

  host: localhost

```

## Notify Services



### [Gotify](https://gotify.net)



```yaml

notify:

  gotify:

    url: http://localhost:8080

    token:

```



## API Images



Match images are saved to `/.storage/matches` and can be accessed via `http://localhost:3000/api/storage/matches/`.



Training images are saved to `/.storage/train` and can be accessed via `http://localhost:3000/api/storage/train//`.



Latest images are saved to `/.storage/latest` and can be accessed via `http://localhost:3000/api/storage/latest/.jpg`.



| Query Parameters | Description                    | Default |

| ---------------- | ------------------------------ | ------- |

| `box`            | Show bounding box around faces | `false` |

| `token`          | Access token                   |         |



## UI



The UI is accessible via `http://localhost:3000`.



- Matches: `/`

- Train: `/train`

- Config: `/config`

- Access Tokens: `/tokens` (_if authentication is enabled_)



## Authentication



Enable authentication to password protect the UI. This is recommended if running Double Take behind a reverse proxy which is exposed to the internet.



```yaml

auth: true

```



## API



Documentation can be viewed on [Postman](https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/1013188/TzsWuAa8).

## Storing Secrets



**Note:** If using one of the [Home Assistant Add-ons](https://github.com/jakowenko/double-take-hassio-addons) then the default Home Assistant `/config/secrets.yaml` file is used.



```yaml

mqtt:

  host: localhost

  username: mqtt

  password: !secret mqtt_password



detectors:

  compreface:

    url: localhost:8000

    key: !secret compreface_key

```



The `secrets.yml` file contains the corresponding value assigned to the identifier.



```yaml

mqtt_password: 

compreface_key: 

```
