Face Age Detection
Feature Introduction
The Face Age Detection example subscribes to image data and intelligent messages containing face bounding box information, performs algorithm inference using the BPU, and publishes algorithm messages containing age information.

| RDK X5, RDK X5 Module | Ubuntu 22.04 (Humble) | Launch MIPI/USB camera and display inference results via Web |
Algorithm Information
| Model | Platform | Input Size | Inference FPS |
|---|---|---|---|
| faceAge | X3 | 1×3×128×128 | 1261.29 |

Prerequisites
RDK Platform
- The RDK has been flashed with the Ubuntu 22.04 system image.
- TogetherROS.Bot has been successfully installed on the RDK.
- An MIPI or USB camera has been installed on the RDK.
- Ensure your PC can access the RDK over the network.
Usage Instructions
The face_age_detection package subscribes to images published by the sensor package and face detection bounding box results published by the human detection and tracking package. After performing inference, it publishes algorithm messages, which are rendered and displayed in a web browser on the PC via the websocket package.
Publish images using an MIPI camera
# Configure the tros.b environment
source /opt/tros/humble/setup.bash
# Copy required configuration files for running the example from the tros.b installation path.
cp -r /opt/tros/${TROS_DISTRO}/lib/mono2d_body_detection/config/ .
# Configure MIPI camera
export CAM_TYPE=mipi
# Launch the launch file
ros2 launch face_age_detection body_det_face_age_det.launch.py
Publish images using a USB camera
# Configure the tros.b environment
source /opt/tros/humble/setup.bash
# Copy required configuration files for running the example from the tros.b installation path.
cp -r /opt/tros/${TROS_DISTRO}/lib/mono2d_body_detection/config/ .
# Configure USB camera
export CAM_TYPE=usb
# Launch the launch file
ros2 launch face_age_detection body_det_face_age_det.launch.py
