Evaluation of face detection performance on the FDDB dataset, measured using Average Precision metrics (AP50 and AP75).

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Face Detection |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | FDDB |
| Metric | AP50 (2012) |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 3 of 3 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [AP50 (2012)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/face-detection-on-fddb-ap-metrics.md?metric=AP50%20(2012)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [AP75 (2012)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/face-detection-on-fddb-ap-metrics.md?metric=AP75%20(2012)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
