Face detection - An overview and comparison of different solutions

This repository holds the implementation of the face detection solutions listed in my blog posts.

How does this work?

All face detection implementations are stored in the /src/solutions folder. If you want to run the face detection code yourself, read the relevant README.md file located in each solution's folder.

Custom classes

To add meta information to the images and generate a CSV export, following two classes have been written:

In order to execute shell commands to find faces, following class has been written:

Where's what?

  • Dataset with images to be processed: /dataset
  • Information about how many faces to expect per image in the dataset (to calculate the success rate): /dataset/face_counts.ini
  • Processed datasets with metadata on the images: /dataset-output
  • CSV file with analytical data: /dataset-output/results.csv
  • Implementation of each solution: /src/solutions/<solution>
  • Custom classes: /src/solutions

Important: The dataset-solutions folder has been added to .gitignore in order not to blow up the Git repository size.
In case you're interested to see the processed images used in my blog posts, you can download the complete set from our file server.

Installation

As stated above, the code for each face detection solution can be found in the /src/solutions folder. If you want to run the code locally, please read the corresponding README.md file located in the /src/solutions sub folders.

CSV Export

Each solution run checks if a /dataset-output/results.csv file exists. If so, it will attach it's data to this CSV file. If not, it will create the file with the corresponding headers.

Dataset

The face detection solutions will try to find faces in all images in the /dataset directory.
You can extend the images or replace them with your own, as you wish.
Important: Only JPG and PNG images are supported for now!

All images currently stored in the /dataset directory were downloaded from pexels.com, many thanks to the contributors and photographers of the images and also to Pexels!
