Abstract

In recent years, face detection and face recognition were widely used in fields like identity-verification system, security system and financial system. However, some of the real-time face detection tasks are still challenging due to the overflowed computational cost of a discriminative system. To resolve this issue, we propose a cascaded network based on CNN, which has simple architecture and light-weighted parameters. The network consists of three stages and operates with a image pyramid (same image with different resolutions), the first stage quickly discriminates faces (proposals) from background, and the other two stage specifically evaluate those proposals to determinate whether a proposal contains face or not. We also address an adaptive method that dynamically drops those redundant proposal regions generated in first stage to avoid prohibitive computation. The model we trained runs at 180 ms for processing a single image on CPU, and keeps an accuracy around 98.4%.
