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
Ability to password protect UI and API
Support for multiple detectors
Train and untrain images for subjects
Process images from NVRs
Publish results to MQTT topics
REST API can be invoked by other applications
Disable detection based on a schedule
Home Assistant Add-ons
Preprocess images with OpenCV

Supported Architecture

amd64
arm64

Supported Detectors

Supported NVRs

Installation

Docker

docker run -d -v $(pwd)/.double-take:/.storage -p 3000:3000 skrashevich/double-take:latest

Docker Compose

version: '3.7'

volumes:
  double-take:

services:
  double-take:
    container_name: double-take
    image: skrashevich/double-take
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - double-take:/.storage
    ports:
      - 3000:3000

Docker (Windows)

To run the Double Take application in Docker on Windows, follow the below instructions:

Install Docker Desktop on Windows system if not already installed.
Open Command Prompt logged in as an administrator.
Pull the Double Take Docker image with the command:
```
docker pull skrashevich/double-take:latest
```
Determine the location you wish to use for the configuration folder. For example: C:\Users\YourUsername\double-take-config .
Run the Docker command to start the Double Take container, replacing the default configuration folder location with your new location:
```
docker run -d -v C:\Users\YourUsername\double-take-config:/.storage -p 3000:3000 skrashevich/double-take:latest 
```

Make sure that the C:\Users\YourUsername\double-take-config directory exists and you have the necessary permissions for that folder. If the folder does not exist, create it before running the Docker command.

If all went well, your NodeJS app should now be up and running inside a Docker container. You can check your application by visiting http://localhost:3000.

Integrations

Frigate

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

mqtt:
  host: localhost

frigate:
  url: http://localhost:5000

When the frigate/events topic is updated the API begins to process the snapshot.jpg and latest.jpg 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.

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/<filename>.

Home Assistant

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.

alias: Notify

  - platform: state
    entity_id: sensor.double_take_david
  - platform: state
    entity_id: sensor.double_take_unknown

            {% endif %}

              {% endif %}
mode: parallel
max: 10

MQTT

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

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

Storing Secrets

Note: If using one of the Home Assistant Add-ons then the default Home Assistant /config/secrets.yaml file is used.

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.

mqtt_password: <password>
compreface_key: <api-key>
