Antônio Carlos Nazaré Júnior, in his PhD research at Smart Sense, he developed a Python library for easy-to-use face detection that can be installed via pip. Using state-of-the-art algorithms (MTCNN and RetinaFace), FDet can be used either programmatically or by command line. The library repository is available on Github for the entire community at: https://github.com/acnazarejr/fdet

In this project the following features are offered, in a package:

– Real-time face detection
– Support for batch detection (useful for fast detection in multiple images and videos)
– Provide a unified interface to assign ‘CPU’ or ‘GPU’ devices
– Multiple GPU’s support
– Automatic on-demand model weights download
– Linux/Windows/Mac compatible
