Installation

  1. Install PyTorch >= v1.0.0 following official instruction.

  2. Clone this repository. We will call the cloned directory as $FaceBoxes_ROOT.

git clone https://github.com/zisianw/FaceBoxes.PyTorch.git
  1. Compile the nms:
./make.sh

Note: Codes are based on Python 3+.

Training

  1. Download WIDER FACE dataset, place the images under this directory:
$FaceBoxes_ROOT/data/WIDER_FACE/images
  1. Convert WIDER FACE annotations to VOC format or download our converted annotations, place them under this directory:
$FaceBoxes_ROOT/data/WIDER_FACE/annotations
  1. Train the model using WIDER FACE:
cd $FaceBoxes_ROOT/
python3 train.py

If you do not wish to train the model, you can download our pre-trained model and save it in $FaceBoxes_ROOT/weights.

Evaluation

  1. Download the images of AFW, PASCAL Face and FDDB to:
$FaceBoxes_ROOT/data/AFW/images/
$FaceBoxes_ROOT/data/PASCAL/images/
$FaceBoxes_ROOT/data/FDDB/images/
  1. Evaluate the trained model using:
# dataset choices = ['AFW', 'PASCAL', 'FDDB']
python3 test.py --dataset FDDB
# evaluate using cpu
python3 test.py --cpu
# visualize detection results
python3 test.py -s --vis_thres 0.3
  1. Download eval_tool to evaluate the performance.
