Abstract

In view of the existing face detection algorithms were difficult to deal with multi-scale, multi-pose face detection, especially for small size face, which encountered the problem of low accuracy, this paper proposed a small size face detection algorithm with multi-scale and texture feature enhanced. In this algorithm, the multi-scale enhancement module could enrich the multi-scale features to improve the detection accuracy of multi-scale face, and the texture feature enhancement module could enhance the high-level semantic information by fusing the low-level texture information, thus, it enhanced the detection ability of small size face. Furthermore, the multi-stage weighted loss functions balanced the output of the network and strengthened the role of each module. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can not only achieve real-time computation in detection speed, but also achieve 88.69% accuracy for face detection with less than 60 pixels height in MALF dataset. Compared with the BBFCN algorithm in FDDB dataset, the result is increased by nearly 4%.
