| Abstract | The advancement of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) has markedly progressed in the field of face detection, significantly enhancing accuracy and recall metrics. Precision and recall remain pivotal for evaluating CNN-based detection models; however, there is a prevalent inclination to focus on improving true positive rates at the expense of addressing false positives. A critical issue contributing to this discrepancy is the lack of pseudo-face images within training and evaluation datasets. This deficiency impairs the regression capabilities of detection models, leading to numerous erroneous detections and inadequate localization. To address this gap, we introduce the WIDERFACE dataset, enriched with a considerable number of pseudo-face images created by amalgamating human and animal facial features. This dataset aims to bolster the detection of false positives during training phases. Furthermore, we propose a new face detection architecture that incorporates a classification model into the conventional face detection model to diminish the false positive rate and augment detection precision. Our comparative analysis on the WIDERFACE and other renowned datasets reveals that our architecture secures a lower false positive rate while preserving the true positive rate in comparison to existing top-tier face detection models. |
