Nothing in it runs by itself. Made by hysts ## About ### What it is This Gradio app is a demo of an anime face detector. It finds faces in anime-style images and estimates 28 landmark points on each one, using plain PyTorch. The record names a set of sample images from the TADNE collection as its data. ### Who it suits It suits artists, dataset builders and machine learning developers who work with anime-style images and want faces located or marked. It also suits learners who want a small, readable Gradio demo. | Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Illustration | Digital artists | Check where a model places face landmarks on a drawing | Upload a character picture and view the marks | | Data work | Dataset builders | Locate faces before cropping or labeling | Run a sample image and note the face boxes | | Software | Python developers | Read a small PyTorch demo wrapped in Gradio | Open app.py and requirements.txt | You can skip it if your images are photos of real people, since the model is built for anime-style faces. ### Where to use it - A web browser, on the Space's page on Hugging Face - Python 3.12 on Windows, macOS or Linux, from a downloaded copy | Use case | Who | What they get back | | --- | --- | --- | | Detect faces in anime art | Artists and builders | Detected faces on the image | | Mark facial landmarks | Developers | 28 landmark points per face | | Reuse as a base | Learners | A small Gradio app to adapt | ### How to set it up - Nothing at all if you use the online Space - Python 3.12 on your computer, only if you run a copy - The packages listed in requirements.txt 1. Open the Space's page in a browser to use it with nothing to install. 2. To run a copy, install the Hugging Face Hub package and download the Space. 3. Move into the new folder, then install the pinned Gradio version and the listed requirements. 4. Start the app with Python. ```sh pip install -U huggingface_hub hf download hysts/anime-face-detector --repo-type space --local-dir anime-face-detector cd anime-face-detector pip install gradio==6.19.0 pip install -r requirements.txt python app.py ``` ### How to use it Online, open the Space and use the controls on its page. On your own machine, run the main file from the Space folder, then use the page it serves. The record does not list the controls, so look at the page. ```sh python app.py ``` ### Example You open the Space and give it an anime-style picture. The app finds the faces in it and marks the 28 landmark points on each. The record shows no sample output, so the exact display depends on the page. ### For newcomers and experts Face detection means a program finds where faces are in a picture, and landmarks are small marked points such as eyes and mouth. Start by opening the Space and trying one anime picture. If you know the field, the demo uses plain PyTorch for both detection and landmark estimation, and it pins a specific Gradio version. The record gives no accuracy figures, so check results on your own images. You give the page an image → The Gradio page sends it to app.py → The model finds the faces → It estimates 28 landmarks per face → The page shows the marked image ### Good to know - License: MIT, as listed on the Space - Cost to run: none named - Data it reaches: the images you give it and the sample images it names - Not for: the record names no exclusions, and the model targets anime-style faces ## README ````markdown # Anime Face Detector Finds anime faces in an image and estimates 28 landmark points on each, in plain PyTorch behind a Gradio page.
