ABSTRACT

In this paper, we propose one stage multi-scale face detector based Fully Convolution Network using anchor free method. Recently almost all state-of-the-art face detectors which predict location of faces using anchor-based methods rely on pre-defined anchor boxes. However this face detectors need to hyper-parameters and additional computation in training. The key idea of the proposed method is to eliminate hyper-parameters and additional computation using anchor free method. To do this, we apply two ideas. First, by eliminating the pre-defined set of anchor boxes, we avoid the additional computation and hyper-parameters related to anchor boxes. Second, our detector predicts location of faces using multi-feature maps to reduce foreground/background imbalance issue. Through Quantitative evaluation, the performance of the proposed method is evaluated and analyzed. Experimental results on the FDDB dataset demonstrate the effective of our proposed method.
