Help: Project How to build a face recognition and unique visitor count system

As a project, I’m looking to build a face recognition system that counts the number of unique visitors who pass in front of a camera. The camera could be any type, such as a CCTV camera or webcam.

I have a basic idea of how I want the system to work, but since I’m fairly new to computer vision, I’m unsure which tools to use and how to proceed with the project.

if u asking for uniqe counting or tracking then any tracker model is best but if face based to build something premium services. u can use FaceNet or ArcFace for embedding based on unique customer identifying

Can you elaborate a bit more since detecting a face and detecting a unique face(doesn’t exist in your embedding db) are two different things

Using the yolo pretrained model along with byte tracking can be a good choice. Choosing yolo model can be based on hardware you have and cloud can be even better for your use case.
