Installation

From PyPI

pip install fastface -U

From source

git clone https://github.com/borhanMorphy/light-face-detection.git
cd light-face-detection
pip install .

Pretrained Models

Pretrained models can be accessable via fastface.FaceDetector.from_pretrained(<name>)

Demo

Using package

import fastface as ff
import imageio

# load image as RGB
img = imageio.imread("<your_image_file_path>")[:,:,:3]

# build model with pretrained weights
model = ff.FaceDetector.from_pretrained("lffd_original")
# model: pl.LightningModule

# get model summary
model.summarize()

# set model to eval mode
model.eval()

# [optional] move model to gpu
model.to("cuda")

# model inference
preds, = model.predict(img, det_threshold=.8, iou_threshold=.4)
# preds: {
#    'boxes': [[xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax], ...],
#    'scores':[<float>, ...]
# }

Using demo.py script

python demo.py --model lffd_original --device cuda --input <your_image_file_path>

sample output;
