A pretrained LBP cascade classifier file (lbpcascade_animeface.xml) for OpenCV that detects anime and manga character faces in images. Distributed since 2011 as a single XML model file with example Python detection code, rather than as an installable library.

Use cases

• detect anime character faces in images with opencv
• locate manga panel faces automatically
• crop anime faces from screenshots or illustrations
• download a pretrained cascade file for anime face detection
• batch-process anime images to find face regions in python
• add face detection to an anime image tagging pipeline

When to choose

• You want lightweight anime face detection using only OpenCV's CascadeClassifier, no deep-learning runtime or GPU
• You need a drop-in XML cascade that works with the standard cv2.detectMultiScale workflow
• You are processing anime illustrations, screenshots, or manga scans in Python

When to avoid

• You need to detect real human faces - use OpenCV's built-in haarcascades or DNN face models instead
• You need maximum detection accuracy - the author states the companion animeface-2009 project detects more accurately
• You need a robust deep-learning anime face detector with better tolerance to pose and lighting variations
• You require a clearly licensed, actively maintained dependency - the project has no license file and has not seen releases since 2018
