LFFD: A Light and Fast Face Detector for Edge Devices

Understand

Face detection, as a fundamental technology for various applications, is always deployed on edge devices which have limited memory storage and low computing power.

• This paper introduces a Light and Fast Face Detector (LFFD) for edge devices.
• The proposed method is anchor-free and belongs to the one-stage category.
• Specifically, we rethink the importance of receptive field (RF) and effective receptive field (ERF) in the background of face detection.
