[Config Support]: Face recognition stopped working after the update from 0.16.x to 0.17.x

[HolgerM1]

Hi there,
I am running Frigate as an app in HomeAssistant under HAOS on a Mini PC (Intel Intel J4125). I am using a coral TPU via USB.
Formerly, face recognition worked flawlessly, and I do have a face database.
After updating from 0.16 to 0.17 face recognition stopped working. Persons are detected and recorded, but no face recognition is following anymore.
I tried investigating the problem using an Internet search, and finally I spent two days evaluating the issue with ChatGPT. Unfortunately, no solution.
Basically Chat GPT focused on two things:

1.) Switching from modes_size: small to large.
-> No improvment

2.) Adding a new face in Frigate and uploading a reference picture from my folder "/media/frigate/clips/faces/person1" (after converting them from *.webp to *.jpg).
-> No improvment

Version

0.17.1-416a9b7

Not sure if this is related, but within the frigate logs, there is the line:

File "/opt/frigate/frigate/embeddings/onnx/jina_v1_embedding.py", line 212 in _load_model_and_utils

In my setup, the folder /opt is empty?!

Face recognition requires a CPU with AVX + AVX2 instructions to run.(1) The Intel J4125 processor in your Mini PC does not support AVX2 instructions - it only supports AVX. This is likely why face recognition stopped working after the update.

Looking at your logs, I can see the system is attempting to load the face recognition models:

INFO: Created TensorFlow Lite XNNPACK delegate for CPU.

(1)

This indicates the face recognition embedding models are trying to run on CPU, but without AVX2 support, they may fail silently or not function correctly.

The small model is optimized for efficiency and runs on the CPU, but still requires AVX + AVX2.(1) The large model requires an integrated or discrete GPU/NPU.(1)

Your options are:

1. Upgrade hardware - Move to a system with a CPU that supports both AVX and AVX2 instructions
2. Disable face recognition - If the hardware cannot support it, you may need to disable the feature:

face_recognition:
  enabled: false

(2)

The /opt folder appearing empty is expected when viewing from outside the container - Frigate runs inside a Docker container and /opt/frigate exists within that container environment, not on your host filesystem.

Additionally, your logs show the detection process getting stuck and restarting, which could be related to the USB Coral becoming unresponsive. Some users have found that switching to a different USB cable can help with stability.(3)

ChatGPT suggested using frigate with Double Take and CompreFace as one of the solutions for my problem. Would this be an option on my hardware?

[hawkeye217]

That solution is quite old and may not work well, but you could try.

If you can't change your hardware, you could just restore your backup of 0.16.x and run that.

[HolgerM1]

Maybe it's time to pimp my hardware.

[hawkeye217]

Upgrades are always fun :)

Let us know if there's anything else we can help with.

[HolgerM1]

thanks, @hawkeye217

[HolgerM1]

That's really strange. After deactivating the semantic search, face recognition is working again.

[hawkeye217]

Yes, this is expected. Semantic search (as well as classification) is actually what requires the updated tensorflow.

[mrl4x]

Face recognition worked again for me too after I turn off semantic_search.

[10zindraws]

Thanks for the tip! I used Double-Take and Compreface prior to this thread but it was really inefficient.
