Tiny Face Detector class in TensorFlow

This code is a trial to revamp the code Tiny_Faces_in_Tensorflow which is a TensorFlow port(inference only) of Tiny Face Detector from authors' MatConvNet codes.

• dlib face aligner is added

Converting a pretrained model

You can download the converted model from here Tinyface Model

Or you can flow this to convert the model:

matconvnet_hr101_to_pickle reads weights of the MatConvNet pretrained model and write back to a pickle file which is used in a TensorFlow model as initial weights.

1. Download a ResNet101-based pretrained model(hr_res101.mat) from the authors' repo.

2. Convert the model to a pickle file by:

python matconvnet_hr101_to_pickle.py
        --matlab_model_path /path/to/pretrained_model
        --weight_file_path  /path/to/pickle_file

Requirements:

• opencv-python
• dlib
• Tensorflow
