CenterFace: Joint Face Detection and Alignment Using Face as Point
/ Authors
/ Abstract
Face detection and alignment in unconstrained environment is always deployed on edge devices which have limited memory storage and low computing power. This paper proposes a one-stage method named CenterFace to simultaneously predict facial box and landmark location with real-time speed and high accuracy. The proposed method also belongs to the anchor-free category. This is achieved by (a) learning face existing possibility by the semantic maps, (b) learning bounding box, offsets, and five landmarks for each position that potentially contains a face. Specifically, the method can run in real time on a single CPU core and 200 FPS using NVIDIA 2080TI for VGA-resolution images and can simultaneously achieve superior accuracy (WIDER FACE Val/Test-Easy: 0.935/0.932, Medium: 0.924/0.921, Hard: 0.875/0.873, and FDDB discontinuous: 0.980 and continuous: 0.732).
