libfacedetection

This is an open source library for CNN-based face detection in images. The CNN model has been converted to static variables in C source files. The source code does not depend on any other libraries. What you need is just a C++ compiler. You can compile the source code under Windows, Linux, ARM and any platform with a C++ compiler.

SIMD instructions are used to speed up the detection. You can enable AVX2 if you use Intel CPU or NEON for ARM.

The model file has also been provided in directory ./models/.

examples/libfacedetectcnn-example.cpp shows how to use the library.

Examples

How to Compile

  • Please add -O3 to turn on optimizations when you compile the source code using g++.
  • Please choose 'Maximize Speed/-O2' when you compile the source code using Microsoft Visual Studio.

Create a build folder:

mkdir build; cd build; rm -rf *

Cross build for aarch64

  1. set cross compiler for aarch64 (please refer to aarch64-toolchain.cmake)
  2. set opencv path since the example code depends on opencv
cmake \
    -DENABLE_INT8=ON \
    -DENABLE_NEON=ON \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE \
    -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../aarch64-toolchain.cmake \
     ..

make

Native build for avx2

cmake \
    -DENABLE_INT8=ON \
    -DENABLE_AVX2=ON \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE \
    -DDEMO=ON \
     ..

make
