🚀 Quick Start Guide

This guide helps you get facebeak running quickly.

System Dependencies

Python: Version 3.9+ is recommended (Python 3.11.9 was used for development).
FFmpeg: This is required for all video processing and audio extraction features.
- Download FFmpeg from ffmpeg.org.
- You can either:
  - Add the directory containing ffmpeg (or ffmpeg.exe on Windows) to your system's PATH.
  - Or, specify the full path to the ffmpeg executable in the config.json file (see "Configuration" section above).

Installation

1. Get Python:

Download and install Python from python.org.
During installation on Windows, ensure you check the box "Add Python to PATH".

2. Download Project:

Download this project by clicking the green "Code" button above and selecting "Download ZIP".
Extract the ZIP file to a folder on your computer (e.g., C:\facebeak or ~/facebeak).

3. Setup Environment & Install Dependencies:

Open your system's command line interface: - Windows: Command Prompt or PowerShell. - Linux/macOS: Terminal.

Navigate to the project folder where you extracted the files:

cd path/to/your/facebeak_folder

Now, run the setup script for your operating system:

Windows:
```
setup_and_run.bat
```

Linux/macOS:

bash setup_and_run.sh
# If you get a permission error, try: chmod +x setup_and_run.sh
# Then run: ./setup_and_run.sh

These scripts will attempt to:

Guide you to create or confirm a Python virtual environment (recommended name: .venv).
Activate the virtual environment.
Upgrade pip (Python's package installer).
Install all required Python packages from requirements.txt.

Manual Virtual Environment Setup (if not using the setup scripts or for troubleshooting): If you prefer to set up the virtual environment manually or the script encounters issues:

# Navigate to your project root directory
# Replace 'python' with 'python3' if that's your command for Python 3
python -m venv .venv  # Creates a virtual environment named .venv

# Activate the virtual environment:
# On Windows (cmd.exe):
# .venv\Scripts\activate.bat
# On Windows (PowerShell):
# .\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1 
# (You might need to set PowerShell execution policy: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser)
# On Linux/macOS (bash/zsh):
# source .venv/bin/activate

# Once activated, upgrade pip and install requirements:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r requirements.txt

Using the Program

Once setup is complete and the virtual environment is active (your command prompt might change to show (.venv) at the beginning of the line):

Launching the Main GUI (`facebeak.py`)

This is the primary way to interact with most features.

Windows: If you used setup_and_run.bat, it might leave a command prompt open with the environment active. If not, open a new Command Prompt in the project folder and run .venv\Scripts\activate.bat. Then:
```
python facebeak.py
```
Linux/macOS: If you used setup_and_run.sh, the environment is active in that terminal. Run:
```
python facebeak.py
```
Alternatively, you might be able to double-click facebeak.py if your system is configured to run Python scripts, but running from an activated terminal is more reliable for ensuring the correct environment.

Running Specific Video Processing via CLI (`main.py`)

For automated processing or if you prefer the command line.

Windows (using the script): From a command prompt in the project directory (venv does not need to be active first for this script, as it activates it):
```
run_facebeak.bat
```
(This script will prompt you for inputs.)
Linux/macOS (using the script): From a terminal in the project directory (venv does not need to be active first for this script):
```
bash run_facebeak.sh
# Or, if you've made it executable (chmod +x run_facebeak.sh):
# ./run_facebeak.sh
```
(This script will prompt you for inputs.)

Directly (manual command): Ensure your virtual environment is active.

python main.py --video path/to/your/video.mp4 --skip-output path/to/skip_output.mp4 --full-output path/to/full_output.mp4 [other_options]

Use python main.py --help to see all available command-line options.

Troubleshooting

Initial Setup: If you get errors about missing files or modules, ensure you have run the correct setup script (setup_and_run.bat or setup_and_run.sh) which installs dependencies from requirements.txt. Make sure your virtual environment is active.
FFmpeg: If video processing fails with errors related to ffmpeg, ensure it's installed and accessible. Either add it to your system's PATH or set the ffmpeg_path in config.json.
Program Start: If the GUI (facebeak.py) doesn't start, try running it from an activated command prompt/terminal to see error messages: python facebeak.py.
NEW: If you see many false positive detections, increase Min Confidence to 0.6-0.7
NEW: If Faster R-CNN produces false positives, disable its multi-view option
NEW: If database issues occur, check the logs in the logs/ directory
NEW: Use python sync_database.py to fix database/file mismatches
🎯 NEW: If you see overlapping bounding boxes, the IOU thresholds are now properly configured
🔊 NEW: If audio extraction fails, check FFmpeg installation and video audio tracks
For other issues, check the output box for error messages

Technical Details (For Developers)

Dependencies

Python 3.11.9 (or compatible 3.9+ version)
RTX 3080 or compatible GPU (recommended for optimal training performance, especially overnight training). CPU-only operation is possible but will be significantly slower for model training and processing.
FFmpeg: Required for video processing (e.g., frame extraction, audio manipulation).
- Must be installed on the system.
- The application will attempt to find ffmpeg in the system's PATH.
- Alternatively, the full path to the ffmpeg executable can be specified in config.json using the ffmpeg_path key.
See requirements.txt for a complete list of Python package dependencies. These are installed by the setup_and_run scripts or manually via pip install -r requirements.txt.
NEW: Some utility scripts or advanced features might use additional packages like plotly>=5.17.0 for interactive visualizations. These are included in requirements.txt.

⚙️ Configuration (`config.json`)

facebeak uses a config.json file in the project root to manage various settings. If this file doesn't exist, or if a specific key is missing, the application will generally use sensible default values.

{
  "input_dir": "./videos",
  "output_dir": "./output",
  "model_dir": "./models",
  "ffmpeg_path": "ffmpeg",
  "db_path": "",
  "log_dir": "./logs"
}

Key Descriptions:

input_dir: Default directory for input videos. This is primarily a suggestion for scripts or if the GUI doesn't specify a path.
output_dir: Default base directory where output files (processed videos, image crops, clustering results, etc.) are saved. The GUI often pre-fills this based on this config value.
model_dir: Specifies the directory where trained model files (e.g., .pt for YOLO, .pth for PyTorch models) are stored or should be looked for.
ffmpeg_path: Path to the FFmpeg executable.
- If set to "ffmpeg" (the default), the system will assume FFmpeg is installed and available in the system's PATH.
- Otherwise, provide the full, absolute path to the ffmpeg (or ffmpeg.exe on Windows) executable.
db_path: Specifies the path to the SQLite database file (e.g., crow_embeddings.db).
- Precedence for Database Path:
  1. Environment variable: CROW_DB_PATH (if set, this takes highest priority).
  2. config.json: Value of db_path (if set to a non-empty string).
  3. Default: ~/.facebeak/crow_embeddings.db (i.e., in a .facebeak folder within the user's home directory).
log_dir: Directory where application log files are stored.
- Precedence for Log Directory:
  1. Environment variable: LOG_DIR (if set, this takes highest priority).
  2. config.json: Value of log_dir (if set to a non-empty string).
  3. Default: ./logs (a logs directory in the project root).

An empty string for db_path or log_dir in config.json means the application will ignore this config entry and proceed to the next precedence level (usually the default path).
