DSFD (Dual Shot Face Detector) is Tencent Youtu's high-accuracy face detection network, released with PyTorch inference code and pretrained weights. It ranked No.1 on the WIDER FACE and FDDB benchmarks and was published at CVPR 2019.

Use cases

• detect faces in images with a pretrained model
• evaluate a face detector on WIDER FACE
• evaluate face detection on FDDB
• find small faces in crowded photos
• run face detection inference in PyTorch
• compare face detectors against state-of-the-art benchmarks

When to choose

• you need highly accurate face detection, especially on small or crowded faces
• you want a proven CVPR-published detector with pretrained weights
• you have a Linux GPU environment with PyTorch available

When to avoid

• you need CPU-only or lightweight real-time detection on edge devices
• you need actively maintained code with modern PyTorch versions (requirements pin Torch 0.3.1)
• you need face recognition or landmarks, not just detection
