Contextualising Bandera: Deep Watching Demo Scripts

This repository combines demo scripts and pretrained models to recognise various nationalist(ic) symbols (using Detectron2) and politicians (using Facenet) from Eastern Europe.

Setup

First you have to manually install Detectron2 and Facenet, see instructions here and here. After installing Detectron2 and Facenet, you can use pip install -r requirements.txt to install the other needed packages. Please note that Facenet needs Tensorflow, which as of yet is not running under Python 3.9. You can create a virtual environment using Python 3.8 with python3.8 -m venv .

Usage

Symbol recognition in a video:

python scripts/demo.py --config configs/nationalist_symbols.yaml --video-input video.mp4 --output output/ --frame-skip 10 --opts MODEL.DEVICE cpu

Create 'output' folder first; annotated video and a json holding all recognized symbols will be stored here. Use --frame-skip to speed up the process (only each nth frame is used for recognition) and use --opts MODEL.DEVICE cpu if you don't have a Nvidia GPU.

Face recognition in images (stored in the 'images' folder):

python src/classifier.py CLASSIFY images/ ../models/20180402-114759/20180402-114759.pb ../models/politicians.pkl --batch_size 1000

Note: You have to download the generic pretrained model first (see install instructions).
