+
+# Compare models
+python scripts/run_detection.py --image assets/test.jpg --method retinaface --iterations 100
+python scripts/run_detection.py --image assets/test.jpg --method scrfd --iterations 100
+```
+
+### Accuracy Metrics Explained
+
+- **WIDER FACE**: Standard face detection benchmark with three difficulty levels
+  - **Easy**: Large faces (>50px), clear backgrounds
+  - **Medium**: Medium-sized faces (30-50px), moderate occlusion
+  - **Hard**: Small faces (<30px), heavy occlusion, blur
+
+  *Accuracy values are from the original papers - see references below*
+
+- **Model Size**: ONNX model file size (affects download time and memory)
+- **Params**: Number of model parameters (affects inference speed)
+
+### Important Notes
+
+1. **Speed varies by**:
+   - Image resolution
+   - Number of faces in image
+   - Hardware (CPU/GPU/CoreML)
+   - Batch size
+   - Operating system
+
+2. **Accuracy varies by**:
+   - Image quality
+   - Lighting conditions

+
+```bash
+# macOS (Apple Silicon)
+pip install uniface[silicon]
+
+# Linux/Windows with NVIDIA GPU
+pip install uniface[gpu]
+
+# CPU-only (all platforms)
+pip install uniface
+```
+
+---
+
+## 1. Face Detection (30 seconds)
+
+Detect faces in an image:
+
+```python
+import cv2
+from uniface import RetinaFace
+
+# Load image
+image = cv2.imread("photo.jpg")
+
+# Initialize detector (models auto-download on first use)
+detector = RetinaFace()
+
+# Detect faces
+faces = detector.detect(image)
+
+# Print results
+for i, face in enumerate(faces):
+    print(f"Face {i+1}:")
+    print(f"  Confidence: {face['confidence']:.2f}")
+    print(f"  BBox: {face['bbox']}")
+    print(f"  Landmarks: {len(face['landmarks'])} points")
+```
+
+**Output:**
+```
+Face 1:
+  Confidence: 0.99
+  BBox: [120.5, 85.3, 245.8, 210.6]
+  Landmarks: 5 points
+```
+
+---
+
+## 2. Visualize Detections (1 minute)
+
+Draw bounding boxes and landmarks:
+
+```python
+import cv2
+from uniface import RetinaFace
+from uniface.visualization import draw_detections
+
+# Detect faces
+detector = RetinaFace()
+image = cv2.imread("photo.jpg")
+faces = detector.detect(image)
+
+# Extract visualization data
+bboxes = [f['bbox'] for f in faces]
+scores = [f['confidence'] for f in faces]
+landmarks = [f['landmarks'] for f in faces]
+
+# Draw on image
+draw_detections(image, bboxes, scores, landmarks, vis_threshold=0.6)
+
+# Save result
+cv2.imwrite("output.jpg", image)
+print("Saved output.jpg")
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. Face Recognition (2 minutes)
+
+Compare two faces:
+
+```python
+import cv2
+import numpy as np
+from uniface import RetinaFace, ArcFace
+
+# Initialize models
+detector = RetinaFace()
+recognizer = ArcFace()
+
+# Load two images
+image1 = cv2.imread("person1.jpg")
+image2 = cv2.imread("person2.jpg")
+
+# Detect faces
+faces1 = detector.detect(image1)
+faces2 = detector.detect(image2)
+
+if faces1 and faces2:
+    # Extract embeddings
+    emb1 = recognizer.get_normalized_embedding(image1, faces1[0]['landmarks'])
+    emb2 = recognizer.get_normalized_embedding(image2, faces2[0]['landmarks'])
+
+    # Compute similarity (cosine similarity)
+    similarity = np.dot(emb1, emb2.T)[0][0]
+
+    # Interpret result
+    if similarity > 0.6:
+        print(f"✅ Same person (similarity: {similarity:.3f})")
+    else:
+        print(f"❌ Different people (similarity: {similarity:.3f})")
+else:
+    print("No faces detected")
+```
+
+**Similarity thresholds:**
+- `> 0.6`: Same person (high confidence)
+- `0.4 - 0.6`: Uncertain (manual review)
+- `< 0.4`: Different people
+
+---
+
+## 4. Webcam Demo (2 minutes)
+
+Real-time face detection:
+
+```python
+import cv2
+from uniface import RetinaFace
+from uniface.visualization import draw_detections
+
+detector = RetinaFace()
+cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
+
+print("Press 'q' to quit")
+
+while True:
+    ret, frame = cap.read()
+    if not ret:
+        break
+
+    # Detect faces
+    faces = detector.detect(frame)
+
+    # Draw results
+    bboxes = [f['bbox'] for f in faces]
+    scores = [f['confidence'] for f in faces]
+    landmarks = [f['landmarks'] for f in faces]
+    draw_detections(frame, bboxes, scores, landmarks)
+
+    # Show frame
+    cv2.imshow("UniFace - Press 'q' to quit", frame)
+
+    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
+        break
+
+cap.release()
+cv2.destroyAllWindows()
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5. Age & Gender Detection (2 minutes)
+
+Detect age and gender:
+
+```python
+import cv2
+from uniface import RetinaFace, AgeGender
+
+# Initialize models
+detector = RetinaFace()
+age_gender = AgeGender()
+
+# Load image
+image = cv2.imread("photo.jpg")
+faces = detector.detect(image)
+
+# Predict attributes
+for i, face in enumerate(faces):
+    gender, age = age_gender.predict(image, face['bbox'])
+    print(f"Face {i+1}: {gender}, {age} years old")
+```
+
+**Output:**
+```
+Face 1: Male, 32 years old
+Face 2: Female, 28 years old
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6. Facial Landmarks (2 minutes)
+
+Detect 106 facial landmarks:
+
+```python
+import cv2
+from uniface import RetinaFace, Landmark106
+
+# Initialize models
+detector = RetinaFace()
+landmarker = Landmark106()
+
+# Detect face and landmarks
+image = cv2.imread("photo.jpg")
+faces = detector.detect(image)
+
+if faces:
+    landmarks = landmarker.get_landmarks(image, faces[0]['bbox'])
+    print(f"Detected {len(landmarks)} landmarks")
+
+    # Draw landmarks
+    for x, y in landmarks.astype(int):
+        cv2.circle(image, (x, y), 2, (0, 255, 0), -1)
+
+    cv2.imwrite("landmarks.jpg", image)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 7. Batch Processing (3 minutes)
+
+Process multiple images:
+
+```python
+import cv2
+from pathlib import Path
+from uniface import RetinaFace
+
+detector = RetinaFace()
+
+# Process all images in a folder
+image_dir = Path("images/")
+output_dir = Path("output/")
+output_dir.mkdir(exist_ok=True)
+
+for image_path in image_dir.glob("*.jpg"):
+    print(f"Processing {image_path.name}...")
+
+    image = cv2.imread(str(image_path))
+    faces = detector.detect(image)
+
+    print(f"  Found {len(faces)} face(s)")
+
+    # Save results
+    output_path = output_dir / image_path.name
+    # ... draw and save ...
+
+print("Done!")
+```
+
+---
+
+## 8. Model Selection
+
+Choose the right model for your use case:
+
+```python
+from uniface import create_detector
+from uniface.constants import RetinaFaceWeights, SCRFDWeights
+
+# Fast detection (mobile/edge devices)
+detector = create_detector(
+    'retinaface',
+    model_name=RetinaFaceWeights.MNET_025,
+    conf_thresh=0.7
+)
+
+# Balanced (recommended)
+detector = create_detector(
+    'retinaface',
+    model_name=RetinaFaceWeights.MNET_V2
+)
+
+# High accuracy (server/GPU)
+detector = create_detector(
+    'scrfd',
+    model_name=SCRFDWeights.SCRFD_10G_KPS,
+    conf_thresh=0.5
+)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Common Issues
+
+### 1. Models Not Downloading
+
+```python
+# Manually download a model
+from uniface.model_store import verify_model_weights
+from uniface.constants import RetinaFaceWeights
+
+model_path = verify_model_weights(RetinaFaceWeights.MNET_V2)
+print(f"Model downloaded to: {model_path}")
+```
+
+### 2. Check Hardware Acceleration
+
+```python
+import onnxruntime as ort
+print("Available providers:", ort.get_available_providers())
+
+# macOS M-series should show: ['CoreMLExecutionProvider', ...]
+# NVIDIA GPU should show: ['CUDAExecutionProvider', ...]
+```
+
+### 3. Slow Performance on Mac
+
+Make sure you installed with CoreML support:
+
+```bash
+pip install uniface[silicon]
+```
+
+### 4. Import Errors
+
+```python
+# ✅ Correct imports
+from uniface import RetinaFace, ArcFace, Landmark106
+from uniface.detection import create_detector
+
+# ❌ Wrong imports
+from uniface import retinaface  # Module, not class
+```

-## API Reference
+---
 
-### `RetinaFace` Class
+## Examples
 
-#### Initialization
+### Webcam Face Detection
 
 ```python
-from typings import Tuple
+import cv2
 from uniface import RetinaFace
+from uniface.visualization import draw_detections
+
+detector = RetinaFace()
+cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
+
+while True:
+    ret, frame = cap.read()
+    if not ret:
+        break
+
+    faces = detector.detect(frame)
+
+    # Extract data for visualization
+    bboxes = [f['bbox'] for f in faces]
+    scores = [f['confidence'] for f in faces]
+    landmarks = [f['landmarks'] for f in faces]
+
+    draw_detections(frame, bboxes, scores, landmarks, vis_threshold=0.6)
+
+    cv2.imshow("Face Detection", frame)
+    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
+        break
+
+cap.release()
+cv2.destroyAllWindows()
+```
+
+### Face Search System
+
+```python
+import numpy as np
+from uniface import RetinaFace, ArcFace
+
+detector = RetinaFace()
+recognizer = ArcFace()
+
+# Build face database
+database = {}
+for person_id, image_path in person_images.items():
+    image = cv2.imread(image_path)
+    faces = detector.detect(image)
+    if faces:
+        embedding = recognizer.get_normalized_embedding(
+            image, faces[0]['landmarks']
+        )
+        database[person_id] = embedding
+
+# Search for a face
+query_image = cv2.imread("query.jpg")
+query_faces = detector.detect(query_image)
+if query_faces:
+    query_embedding = recognizer.get_normalized_embedding(
+        query_image, query_faces[0]['landmarks']
+    )
+
+    # Find best match
+    best_match = None
+    best_similarity = -1
+
+    for person_id, db_embedding in database.items():
+        similarity = np.dot(query_embedding, db_embedding.T)[0][0]
+        if similarity > best_similarity:
+            best_similarity = similarity
+            best_match = person_id
+
+    print(f"Best match: {best_match} (similarity: {best_similarity:.4f})")
+```
+
+More examples in the [examples/](examples/) directory.
+
+---
+
+## Advanced Configuration
+
+### Custom ONNX Runtime Providers
+
+```python
+from uniface.onnx_utils import get_available_providers, create_onnx_session
+
+# Check available providers
+providers = get_available_providers()
+print(f"Available: {providers}")
+
+# Force CPU-only execution
+from uniface import RetinaFace
+detector = RetinaFace()
+# Internally uses create_onnx_session() which auto-selects best provider
+```
+
+### Model Download and Caching
+
+Models are automatically downloaded on first use and cached in `~/.uniface/models/`.
+
+```python
+from uniface.model_store import verify_model_weights
 from uniface.constants import RetinaFaceWeights
 
-RetinaFace(
-    model_name: RetinaFaceWeights,
-    conf_thresh: float = 0.5,
-    pre_nms_topk: int = 5000,
-    nms_thresh: float = 0.4,
-    post_nms_topk: int = 750,
-    dynamic_size: bool = False,
-    input_size: Tuple[int, int] = (640, 640)
+# Manually download and verify a model
+model_path = verify_model_weights(
+    RetinaFaceWeights.MNET_V2,
+    root='./custom_models'  # Custom cache directory
 )
 ```
 
-**Parameters**:
+### Logging Configuration
 
-- `model_name` _(RetinaFaceWeights)_: Enum value for model to use. Supported values:
-  - `MNET_025`, `MNET_050`, `MNET_V1`, `MNET_V2`, `RESNET18`, `RESNET34`
-- `conf_thresh` _(float, default=0.5)_: Minimum confidence score for detections.
-- `pre_nms_topk` _(int, default=5000)_: Max detections to keep before NMS.
-- `nms_thresh` _(float, default=0.4)_: IoU threshold for Non-Maximum Suppression.
-- `post_nms_topk` _(int, default=750)_: Max detections to keep after NMS.
-- `dynamic_size` _(Optional[bool], default=False)_: Use dynamic input size.
-- `input_size` _(Optional[Tuple[int, int]], default=(640, 640))_: Static input size for the model (width, height).
+```python
+from uniface import Logger
+import logging
+
+# Set logging level
+Logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)  # DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR
+
+# Disable logging
+Logger.setLevel(logging.CRITICAL)
+```

+# Testing Scripts Guide
+
+Complete guide to testing all scripts in the `scripts/` directory.
+
+---
+
+## 📁 Available Scripts
+
+1. **download_model.py** - Download and verify model weights
+2. **run_detection.py** - Face detection on images
+3. **run_recognition.py** - Face recognition (extract embeddings)
+4. **run_face_search.py** - Real-time face matching with webcam
+5. **sha256_generate.py** - Generate SHA256 checksums for models
+
+---
+
+## Testing Each Script
+
+### 1. Test Model Download
+
+```bash
+# Download a specific model
+python scripts/download_model.py --model MNET_V2
+
+# Download all RetinaFace models (takes ~5 minutes, ~200MB)
+python scripts/download_model.py
+
+# Verify models are cached
+ls -lh ~/.uniface/models/
+```
+
+**Expected Output:**
+```
+📥 Downloading model: retinaface_mnet_v2
+2025-11-08 00:00:00 - INFO - Downloading model 'RetinaFaceWeights.MNET_V2' from https://...
+Downloading ~/.uniface/models/retinaface_mnet_v2.onnx: 100%|████| 3.5M/3.5M
+2025-11-08 00:00:05 - INFO - Successfully downloaded 'RetinaFaceWeights.MNET_V2'
+✅ All requested weights are ready and verified.
+```
+
+---
+
+### 2. Test Face Detection
+
+```bash
+# Basic detection
+python scripts/run_detection.py --image assets/test.jpg
+
+# With custom settings
+python scripts/run_detection.py \
+    --image assets/test.jpg \
+    --method scrfd \
+    --threshold 0.7 \
+    --save_dir outputs
+
+# Benchmark mode (100 iterations)
+python scripts/run_detection.py \
+    --image assets/test.jpg \
+    --iterations 100
+```
+
+**Expected Output:**
+```
+Initializing detector: retinaface
+2025-11-08 00:00:00 - INFO - Initializing RetinaFace with model=RetinaFaceWeights.MNET_V2...
+2025-11-08 00:00:01 - INFO - CoreML acceleration enabled (Apple Silicon)
+✅ Output saved at: outputs/test_out.jpg
+[1/1] ⏱️ Inference time: 0.0234 seconds
+```
+
+**Verify Output:**
+```bash
+# Check output image was created
+ls -lh outputs/test_out.jpg
+
+# View the image (macOS)
+open outputs/test_out.jpg
+```
+
+---
+
+### 3. Test Face Recognition (Embedding Extraction)
+
+```bash
+# Extract embeddings from an image
+python scripts/run_recognition.py --image assets/test.jpg
+
+# With different models
+python scripts/run_recognition.py \
+    --image assets/test.jpg \
+    --detector scrfd \
+    --recognizer mobileface
+```
+
+**Expected Output:**
+```
+Initializing detector: retinaface
+Initializing recognizer: arcface
+2025-11-08 00:00:00 - INFO - Successfully initialized face encoder from ~/.uniface/models/w600k_mbf.onnx
+Detected 1 face(s). Extracting embeddings for the first face...
+  - Embedding shape: (1, 512)
+  - L2 norm of unnormalized embedding: 64.2341
+  - L2 norm of normalized embedding: 1.0000
+```
+
+---
+
+### 4. Test Real-Time Face Search (Webcam)
+
+**Prerequisites:**
+- Webcam connected
+- Reference image with a clear face
+
+```bash
+# Basic usage
+python scripts/run_face_search.py --image assets/test.jpg
+
+# With custom models
+python scripts/run_face_search.py \
+    --image assets/test.jpg \
+    --detector scrfd \
+    --recognizer arcface
+```
+
+**Expected Behavior:**
+1. Webcam window opens
+2. Faces are detected in real-time
+3. Green box = Match (similarity > 0.4)
+4. Red box = Unknown (similarity < 0.4)
+5. Press 'q' to quit
+
+**Expected Output:**
+```
+Initializing models...
+2025-11-08 00:00:00 - INFO - CoreML acceleration enabled (Apple Silicon)
+Extracting reference embedding...
+Webcam started. Press 'q' to quit.
+```
+
+**Troubleshooting:**
+```bash
+# If webcam doesn't open
+python -c "import cv2; cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0); print('Webcam OK' if cap.isOpened() else 'Webcam FAIL')"
+
+# If no faces detected
+# - Ensure good lighting
+# - Face should be frontal and clearly visible
+# - Try lowering threshold: edit script line 29, change 0.4 to 0.3
+```
+
+---
+
+### 5. Test SHA256 Generator (For Developers)
+
+```bash
+# Generate checksum for a model file
+python scripts/sha256_generate.py ~/.uniface/models/retinaface_mnet_v2.onnx
+
+# Generate for all models
+for model in ~/.uniface/models/*.onnx; do
+    python scripts/sha256_generate.py "$model"
+done
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🔍 Quick Verification Tests

+from uniface import RetinaFace, ArcFace
+
+detector = RetinaFace()
+recognizer = ArcFace()
+image = cv2.imread('assets/test.jpg')
+faces = detector.detect(image)
+if faces:
+    landmarks = np.array(faces[0]['landmarks'])
+    embedding = recognizer.get_normalized_embedding(image, landmarks)
+    print(f'✅ Recognition works, embedding shape: {embedding.shape}')
+else:
+    print('⚠️ No faces detected in test image')
+"
+```

+        --recognizer $recognizer
+done
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🐛 Common Issues
+
+### Issue: "No module named 'uniface'"
+
+```bash
+# Solution: Install in editable mode
+pip install -e .
+```
+
+### Issue: "Failed to load image"
+
+```bash
+# Check image exists
+ls -lh assets/test.jpg
+
+# Try with absolute path
+python scripts/run_detection.py --image $(pwd)/assets/test.jpg
+```
+
+### Issue: "No faces detected"
+
+```bash
+# Lower confidence threshold
+python scripts/run_detection.py \
+    --image assets/test.jpg \
+    --threshold 0.3
+```
+
+### Issue: Models downloading slowly
+
+```bash
+# Check internet connection
+curl -I https://github.com/yakhyo/uniface/releases
+
+# Or download manually
+wget https://github.com/yakhyo/uniface/releases/download/v0.1.2/retinaface_mv2.onnx \
+    -O ~/.uniface/models/retinaface_mnet_v2.onnx
+```
+
+### Issue: CoreML not available on Mac
+
+```bash
+# Install CoreML-enabled ONNX Runtime
+pip uninstall onnxruntime
+pip install onnxruntime-silicon
+
+# Verify
+python -c "import onnxruntime as ort; print(ort.get_available_providers())"
+# Should show: ['CoreMLExecutionProvider', 'CPUExecutionProvider']
+```
