InsightFace

Face and person detection and identity embeddings. The buffalo_l pack downloads itself on first use, and there is no env var to set.

Used by

Package	What for	Reads
argus-curator (opens in new tab)	Faces, identities and the boxes the age check uses.	`[faces]`, `[gpu]`
argus-proof (opens in new tab)	`IdentityScorer`: ArcFace similarity against held-out references (`--references`).	`[score]`, `--references`

Install the extra: argus-curator[faces] (CPU) or [gpu] for curator, and argus-proof[score] for proof.
On Debian or Ubuntu, add the system libraries it loads:
```
apt install libgl1 libglib2.0-0 libgomp1
```
Run once. The buffalo_l model pack downloads itself into ~/.insightface. In a container, mount that directory so it isn't downloaded again on every start.

Check the InsightFace model licence before any commercial use: the pretrained packs are for non-commercial research.
