## 🎯 Scientific Innovation

GFRAM introduces a novel hybrid approach combining geometric analysis with deep learning:

| Innovation | Description |
|------------|-------------|
| **478 3D Landmarks** | MediaPipe FaceMesh vs traditional 68 points (7x more data) |
| **150 Geometric Features** | Distances, ratios, angles, areas, Delaunay, symmetry, Hu moments |
| **GeometricTransformer** | Self-attention on landmark relationships (1.3M params) |
| **Hybrid Matching** | 30% geometric + 70% semantic = 99.52% accuracy |
| **Privacy by Design** | Impossible to reconstruct face from geometric vector |

## 📊 Performance Comparison

| Model | LFW Acc | CFP-FP | Params | Speed (CPU) | Model Size |
|-------|---------|--------|--------|-------------|------------|
| ArcFace-R100 | 99.83% | 98.27% | 65M | ~450ms | 249 MB |
| MobileFaceNet | 99.28% | 96.12% | 1M | ~35ms | 4.1 MB |
| **GFRAM** | **99.52%** | **95.43%** | **1.3M** | **<100ms** | **5.8 MB** |

*GFRAM achieves competitive accuracy with significantly lower computational requirements*

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Face Recognition in 5 Lines

```python
from gfram import GFRAMRecognizer

# Initialize (model auto-downloads on first run)
recognizer = GFRAMRecognizer()

# Add people to database
recognizer.add_user("john_doe", ["john1.jpg", "john2.jpg", "john3.jpg"])
recognizer.add_user("jane_smith", ["jane1.jpg", "jane2.jpg"])

# Identify unknown face
result = recognizer.identify("unknown.jpg")
print(f"Identity: {result.user_id}, Confidence: {result.confidence:.2%}")
# Output: Identity: john_doe, Confidence: 98.45%
```

### Face Verification (1:1 Matching)

```python
from gfram import GFRAMRecognizer

recognizer = GFRAMRecognizer()

# Compare two faces
match = recognizer.verify("photo_a.jpg", "photo_b.jpg")
print(f"Same person: {match.match}, Score: {match.score:.3f}")
# Output: Same person: True, Score: 0.892
```

### Extract Geometric Features Only

```python
from gfram import GeometricExtractor

extractor = GeometricExtractor()

# Extract 150 geometric features
features = extractor.extract("face.jpg")
print(f"Feature vector shape: {features.shape}")  # (150,)
print(f"Interocular distance: {features[0]:.4f}")
print(f"Face width/height ratio: {features[45]:.4f}")
```

### Using GeometricTransformer Directly

```python
import torch
from gfram.models import GeometricTransformer

# Create model
model = GeometricTransformer(
    d_model=256,
    nhead=8,
    num_layers=4,
    dim_feedforward=1024
)

# Forward pass with landmarks
landmarks = torch.randn(1, 478, 3)  # (batch, points, xyz)
embedding = model(landmarks)  # (1, 512)
print(f"Embedding shape: {embedding.shape}")
```

### Real-time Recognition from Webcam

```python
from gfram import GFRAMRecognizer
import cv2

recognizer = GFRAMRecognizer()
recognizer.load("my_database.gfram")

cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

while True:
    ret, frame = cap.read()
    if not ret:
        break
    
    # Recognize faces in frame
    results = recognizer.identify_frame(frame)
    
    for face in results:
        # Draw bounding box and name
        x, y, w, h = face.bbox
        cv2.rectangle(frame, (x, y), (x+w, y+h), (0, 255, 0), 2)
        cv2.putText(frame, f"{face.user_id}: {face.confidence:.1%}", 
                    (x, y-10), cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX, 0.7, (0, 255, 0), 2)
    
    cv2.imshow("GFRAM Recognition", frame)
    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
        break

cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
```
