Detector of the Human Head in Image

Detection of human head is an important part of person detection and identification algorithms. This thesis is focused on the detection of human head with methods based on neural networks. The majority the of conventional detectors can identify objects within a limited range of positions, whereas models based on neural networks offer a more robust approach. In this thesis we trained the current state-of-the-art models and compared their accuracy and speed. The most accurate model proved to be RetinaNet which has reached 85.15% AP. This detector can be used to improve current available algorithms for person detection, identification and tracking
