Multi Face Detection

Multi Face Detection

A Gradio app that finds several faces in a picture, with two example photos included. Suits developers and students who want to try face detection in a browser.

About

What it is: Multi Face Detection is a Gradio app by Theivaprakasham. By its name, it finds more than one face in a picture. The repository has two example photos beside the app code. The page has no description, so what it draws or returns is not confirmed.

Who it suits: Developers and students who want to see face detection on photos, or who want a short Gradio example to adapt.

Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example
Software | Developers | Use the project as a pattern for a Gradio vision demo | Replace the example photos with their own
Education | Computer vision students | Run the demo and read app.py to see how detection is called | Try the two bundled photos
Photography | Hobbyists | Check how many faces it finds in a group picture | Upload a family photo they took

Skip it if you need to identify who a person is, because the name describes detection, not recognition.

Where to use it:

• A web browser, on the Space's page on Hugging Face
• Python 3.10 on Windows, macOS or Linux, using a downloaded copy

Use case | Who | What they get back
Try face detection online | Anyone curious | The app's marking of the faces it finds
Study a small vision demo | Students | A short Python project with two example photos

How to set it up:

• Nothing to install for the online version
• Python 3.10 for a local copy
• The packages listed in requirements.txt

1. Install the Hugging Face hub package.
2. Download the Space's files to a folder.
3. Move into that folder.
4. Install gradio 5.29.0, then the packages from requirements.txt.
5. Start the app with app.py.

pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download Theivaprakasham/facedetect --repo-type space --local-dir facedetect
cd facedetect
pip install gradio==5.29.0
pip install -r requirements.txt
python app.py

How to use it: Open the Space page in a browser and give it a photo, or pick one of the two bundled examples. For a local copy, run the app and open the page Gradio opens for you.

python app.py

Tool | What it does
python app.py | Starts the Gradio app on your computer
hf download | Copies the Space's files into a local folder

Example: Open the Space and choose the first bundled photo. The app should show the result of its face detection on that picture. The page does not say how results are drawn, so rely on what it shows.

For newcomers and experts: If you are new to this, try the two bundled photos first, then a photo of your own with several people in it. Use only photos you have the right to use.

If you know the field, the page names no detector, model or threshold. It pins Gradio 5.29.0 and Python 3.10, so read app.py for the actual method before you rely on it.

A photo goes in
The app finds faces
Boxes or marks are drawn
Gradio shows the picture

Good to know:

• The page gives no description, accuracy figures or limits on image size.
• The online version needs nothing installed, and a local copy needs Python 3.10.
• License: apache-2.
• Cost to run: none named, only the packages in requirements.txt.
• Data it reaches: the photo you give it. On the hosted Space, that photo is handled on Hugging Face.
• Not for: identifying people. The source describes detection and says nothing about recognition.
