Proof of Identity System with Face Biometrics

This project provides a Proof of Identity system using face biometrics, leveraging advanced face detection and recognition models.

Getting Started

Follow these steps to set up the project locally:

1. Download Face Detection Model

Run the following script to download the face detection model:

./download-face-detection-model.sh

2. Download Pretrained Face Recognition Model

Download the pretrained face recognition model from this link and save it in the root directory as face-recognition.onnx.

3. Install Required Tools

Ensure you have the following tools installed:

• DFX: The SDK for building, deploying, and running Internet Computer (IC) applications.
• Rust: A systems programming language.

4. Install wasi2ic

Install wasi2ic by following the instructions here.

5. Install wasm-opt

To optimize your WebAssembly modules, run:

cargo install wasm-opt

6. dfx start --clean --background

7. npm run deploy:local

8.
