• Start by adding photos of faces of people that you want to recognize, to the recognition_system/auth_images directory, and also append their names in the file recognition_system/auth_images/unique_ids.txt. Take a look at the current state of aformentioned directory and file for an example.

• Next, set-up the project by running setup.sh and embed_known.sh as follows:

chmod +x setup.sh   # executable permissions, need to be done only once.
./setup.sh          # Run
chmod +x embed_known.sh
./embed_known.sh

• Finally run the program as follows:

chmod +x run.sh   # executable permissions, need to be done only once.
./run.sh          # Run

• Next, visit https://localhost:5000 in your browser, choose a file and then click, submit to see all the faces that have been recognized and tagged in the image.

• Following is a sample output that has been generated by this program.
• This image, along with the input can be found inside the sample_input_and_output directory for the repository.
