Professional and technical thresholds and hardware requirements
CanonSwap is an AI framework designed for professional researchers and developers, and its operation requires a fully configured deep learning environment. The hardware needs to have at least 16GB of RAM and an NVIDIA RTX 3080-class GPU to support complex video processing calculations. A single 1080p video minute of face-swapping processing requires approximately 8-12GB of video memory.
The software level requires configuration of the Linux operating system, installation of specialized libraries such as PyTorch 1.8+, OpenCV 4.5+, and specific versions of the CUDA toolkit. The complete environment deployment usually requires 2-4 hours of professional staff configuration time. Compared to the direct installation and use of a consumer-grade face-swap app, CanonSwap's technical threshold is significantly higher. However, it is this professional-grade support that enables it to achieve face-swap effects and quality far beyond that of ordinary apps.
