Anime-Face-Detector

A Faster-RCNN based anime face detector.

This detector is trained on 6000 training samples and 641 testing samples, randomly selected from the dataset which is crawled from top 100 pixiv daily ranking.

Thanks to OpenCV based Anime face detector written by nagadomi, which helps labelling the data.

The original implementation of Faster-RCNN using Tensorflow can be found here

Dependencies

• Python >= 3.6
• tensorflow latest 1.x or 2.x
• opencv-python (Will use other packages like pillow and scikit-image as backend in future version)
• cython (optional, can be ignored with additional -nms-type PY_NMS argument)
• Pre-trained ResNet101 model

Usage

1. Clone this repository

   git clone https://github.com/qhgz2013/anime-face-detector.git

2. Download the pre-trained model
   Google Drive: here
   Baidu Netdisk: here
3. Unzip the model file into model directory
4. Build the CPU NMS model (skip this step if use PY_NMS with argument: -nms-type PY_NMS)

   make clean
   make

   If using Windows Power Shell, type cmd /C make.bat to run build script.
5. Run the demo as you want
   • Visualize the result (without output path):

     python main.py -i /path/to/image.jpg

   • Save results to a json file

     python main.py -i /path/to/image.jpg -o /path/to/output.json

     Format: {"image_path": [{"score": predicted_probability, "bbox": [min_x, min_y, max_x, max_y]}, ...], ...} Sample output file:

     {"/path/to/image.jpg": [{"score": 0.9999708, "bbox": [551.3375, 314.50253, 729.2599, 485.25674]}]}

   • Detecting a whole directory with recursion

     python main.py -i /path/to/dir -o /path/to/output.json

   • Customize threshold

     python main.py -i /path/to/image.jpg -nms 0.3 -conf 0.8

   • Customize model path

     python main.py -i /path/to/image.jpg -model /path/to/model.ckpt

   • Customize nms type (supports CPU_NMS and PY_NMS, not supports GPU_NMS because of the complicated build process for Windows platform)

     python main.py -i /path/to/image.jpg -nms-type PY_NMS

   • Crop detected images and store them in a folder (start output is an integer to start naming the cropped images, default is 0)

     python main.py -i /path/to/image/or/folder -crop-location /path/to/store/cropped/images -start-output 1

   • Crop detected images and resizes them

     python main.py -i /path/to/image/or/folder -crop-location /path/to/store/cropped/images -crop-height 224 -crop-width 224

Results

Mean AP for this model: 0.9086

About training

This model is directly trained by Faster-RCNN, with following argument:

python tools/trainval_net.py --weight data/imagenet_weights/res101.ckpt --imdb voc_2007_trainval --imdbval voc_2007_test --iters 60000 --cfg experiments/cfgs/res101.yml --net res101 --set ANCHOR_SCALES "[4,8,16,32]" ANCHOR_RATIOS "[1]" TRAIN.STEPSIZE "[50000]"

Dataset

We've uploaded the dataset to Google drive here, dataset structure is similar to VOC2007 (used in original Faster-RCNN implementation).
