### Face Detection - Tiny Yolo v2
The Tiny Yolo v2 based face detector can easily adapt to different input image sizes, thus can be used as an alternative to SSD Mobilenet v1 to trade off accuracy for performance (inference time). In general the model is not as accurate as SSD Mobilenet v1 but can achieve faster inference for lower image sizes.
The Tiny Yolo v2 implementation is still experimental, meaning there is room for optimization (future work). The trained model weights are provided in the [azFace](https://github.com/azmathmoosa/azFace) project.

### Face Detection & 5 Point Face Landmarks - MTCNN
### Face Detection & 5 Point Face Landmarks - MTCNN
MTCNN (Multi-task Cascaded Convolutional Neural Networks) represents an alternative to SSD Mobilenet v1, which offers much more room for configuration and is able to achieve much lower processing times. MTCNN is a 3 stage cascaded CNN, which simultanously returns 5 face landmark points along with the bounding boxes and scores for each face. By limiting the minimum size of faces expected in an image, MTCNN allows you to process frames from your webcam in realtime. Additionally with 2MB, the size of the weights file is only a third of the size of the quantized SSD Mobilenet v1 model (~6MB).

MTCNN has been presented in the paper [Joint Face Detection and Alignment using Multi-task Cascaded Convolutional Networks](https://kpzhang93.github.io/MTCNN_face_detection_alignment/paper/spl.pdf) by Zhang et al. and the model weights are provided in the official [repo](https://github.com/kpzhang93/MTCNN_face_detection_alignment) of the MTCNN implementation.
