A new data set of face images with more faces and more accurate annotations for face regions than in previous data sets is presented and two rigorous and precise methods for evaluating the performance of face detection algorithms are proposed.
Abstract
Despite the maturity of face detection research, it remains difficult to compare different algorithms for face detection. This is partly due to the lack of common evaluation schemes. Also, existing data sets for evaluating face detection algorithms do not capture some aspects of face appearances that are manifested in real-world scenarios. In this work, we address both of these issues. We present a new data set of face images with more faces and more accurate annotations for face regions than in previous data sets. We also propose two rigorous and precise methods for evaluating the performance of face detection algorithms. We report results of several standard algorithms on the new benchmark.

Convolutional herbal prescription building method from multi-scale facial features

TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-scale convolutional neural network based on three-grained face was proposed to mine features from different granularities of faces, which mined the patient's face information from the organs, local regions, and the entire face.

Continuous Trade-off Optimization Between Fast and Accurate Deep Face Detectors

TL;DR: In this article, five straightforward approaches to achieve an optimal trade-off between accuracy and speed in face detection were proposed, based on separating the test images in two batches, an easy batch that was fed to a faster face detector and a difficult batch that is fed to an accurate yet slower detector.
