# InsightFace Batch-Optimized Models (Max Batch 64)
Re-exported InsightFace models with **proper dynamic batch support** and **no cross-frame contamination**.
## ⚠️ Version Difference
| Repository | Max Batch | Best For |
|------------|-----------|----------|
| [alonsorobots/scrfd_320_batched](https://huggingface.co/alonsorobots/scrfd_320_batched) | 1-32 | Standard use, tested extensively |
| **This repo** | **1-64** | Experimentation with larger batches |
**Recommendation:** Use max batch=32 for optimal performance. Batch=64 provides similar throughput but uses more VRAM.
## Why These Models?
The original InsightFace ONNX models have issues with batch inference:
- `buffalo_l` detection model: hardcoded batch=1
- `buffalo_l_batch` detection model: **broken** - has cross-frame contamination due to reshape operations that flatten the batch dimension
These re-exports fix the `dynamic_axes` in the ONNX graph for **true batch inference**.
## Models
| Model | Task | Input Shape | Output | Batch | Speedup |
|-------|------|-------------|--------|-------|---------|
| `scrfd_10g_320_batch64.onnx` | Face Detection | `[N, 3, 320, 320]` | boxes, landmarks | 1-64 | **6×** |
| `arcface_w600k_r50_batch64.onnx` | Face Embedding | `[N, 3, 112, 112]` | 512-dim vectors | 1-64 | **10×** |
## Performance (TensorRT FP16, RTX 5090)
### Batch Size Comparison (Full Video, 12,263 frames)
| Batch Size | FPS | Relative |
|------------|-----|----------|
| 16 | 2,007 | 1.00× |
| **32** | **2,097** | **1.05×** ✅ Optimal |
| 64 | 2,034 | 1.01× |
**Key Finding:** Batch=32 is optimal. Batch=64 provides no additional benefit due to GPU memory bandwidth saturation.
### With Pipelined Preprocessing (4 workers)
| Configuration | FPS | Speedup |
|---------------|-----|---------|
| Sequential batch=16 | 1,211 | baseline |
| **Pipelined batch=32** | **2,097** | **1.73×** |
## Usage
```python
import numpy as np
import onnxruntime as ort
# Load model
sess = ort.InferenceSession("scrfd_10g_320_batch64.onnx",
providers=["TensorrtExecutionProvider", "CUDAExecutionProvider"])
# Batch inference (any size from 1-64)
batch = np.random.randn(32, 3, 320, 320).astype(np.float32)
outputs = sess.run(None, {"input.1": batch})
# outputs[0-2]: scores per FPN level (stride 8, 16, 32)
# outputs[3-5]: bboxes per FPN level
# outputs[6-8]: keypoints per FPN level
```
## TensorRT Configuration
When using TensorRT, set profile shapes to support your desired batch range:
```python
providers = [
("TensorrtExecutionProvider", {
"trt_fp16_enable": True,
"trt_engine_cache_enable": True,
"trt_profile_min_shapes": "input.1:1x3x320x320",
"trt_profile_opt_shapes": "input.1:32x3x320x320", # Optimize for batch=32
"trt_profile_max_shapes": "input.1:64x3x320x320", # Support up to 64
}),
"CUDAExecutionProvider",
]
```
## Verified: No Batch Contamination
```python
# Same frame processed alone vs in batch = identical results
single_output = sess.run(None, {"input.1": frame[np.newaxis, ...]})
batch[7] = frame
batch_output = sess.run(None, {"input.1": batch})
max_diff = np.max(np.abs(single_output[0] - batch_output[0][7]))
# max_diff < 1e-5 ✓
```
## Re-export Process
These models were re-exported from InsightFace's PyTorch source using MMDetection with proper `dynamic_axes`:
```python
dynamic_axes = {
"input.1": {0: "batch"},
"score_8": {0: "batch"},
"score_16": {0: "batch"},
# ... all outputs
}
```
