YOLO results:
Yolov11n results
[[23577 2878]
[16098 0]]
Usage
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
from ultralytics import YOLO
model_path = hf_hub_download(repo_id="AdamCodd/YOLOv11n-face-detection", filename="model.pt")
model = YOLO(model_path)
results = model.predict("/path/to/your/image", save=True) # saves the result in runs/detect/predict
Limitations
- Performance may vary in extreme lighting conditions
- Best suited for frontal and slightly angled faces
- Optimal performance for faces occupying >20 pixels
