## 🚀 Quick Start
### Prerequisites
- Python 3.12 or higher
- pip package manager
- Virtual environment (recommended)
### Installation
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone <repository-url>
cd punimtag
# Create and activate virtual environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
### Running the Application
#### GUI Dashboard (Recommended)
```bash
python run_dashboard.py
```
Or:
```bash
python src/gui/dashboard_gui.py
```
#### CLI Interface
```bash
python src/photo_tagger.py --help
```
### First-Time Setup
If you have an existing database from before the DeepFace migration, you need to migrate:
```bash
# IMPORTANT: This will delete all existing data!
python scripts/migrate_to_deepface.py
```
Then re-add your photos and process them with DeepFace.

## 🎮 Usage
### 1. Import Photos
```bash
# Add photos from a folder
python src/photo_tagger.py scan /path/to/photos
```
### 2. Process Faces
Open the dashboard and click "Process Photos" to detect faces.
### 3. Identify People
Use the "Identify" panel to tag faces with names.
### 4. Search
Use the "Search" panel to find photos by people, dates, or tags.
---
## 🔧 Configuration
### GUI Configuration (Recommended)
Use the dashboard to configure DeepFace settings:
1. Open the dashboard: `python run_dashboard.py`
2. Click "🔍 Process"
3. Select your preferred:
- **Face Detector**: RetinaFace (best), MTCNN, OpenCV, or SSD
- **Recognition Model**: ArcFace (best), Facenet, Facenet512, or VGG-Face
### Manual Configuration
Edit `src/core/config.py` to customize:
- `DEEPFACE_DETECTOR_BACKEND` - Face detection model
- `DEEPFACE_MODEL_NAME` - Recognition model
- `DEFAULT_FACE_TOLERANCE` - Similarity tolerance (0.4 for DeepFace)
- `DEEPFACE_SIMILARITY_THRESHOLD` - Minimum similarity percentage
- Batch sizes and quality thresholds
---
## 🧪 Testing
```bash
# Run all migration tests (20 tests total)
python tests/test_phase1_schema.py # Phase 1: Database schema (5 tests)
python tests/test_phase2_config.py # Phase 2: Configuration (5 tests)
python tests/test_phase3_deepface.py # Phase 3: Core processing (5 tests)
python tests/test_phase4_gui.py # Phase 4: GUI integration (5 tests)
python tests/test_deepface_integration.py # Phase 6: Integration tests (5 tests)
# Run DeepFace GUI test (working example)
python tests/test_deepface_gui.py
# All tests should pass ✅ (20/20 passing)
```

## 🐛 Known Limitations
- Processing ~2-3x slower than old face_recognition (but much more accurate!)
- Large databases (>50K photos) may experience slowdown
- No GPU acceleration yet (CPU-only processing)
- First run downloads models (~100MB+)
- Existing databases require migration (data will be lost)
See [Task List](.notes/task_list.md) for all tracked issues.
## 📦 Model Downloads
On first run, DeepFace will download required models:
- ArcFace model (~100MB)
- RetinaFace detector (~1.5MB)
- Models stored in `~/.deepface/weights/`
- Requires internet connection for first run only
