Evaluation of Face Detection performance on the WIDER FACE dataset, specifically using the split or version designated as '1 (val)', measured across Easy, Medium, and Hard difficulty levels.

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) | WIDER FACE 1 (val) |
| Metric | Detection Score (Easy) |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 19 of 19 |
| 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

- [Detection Score (Easy)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/face-detection-on-wider-face-1-val.md?metric=Detection%20Score%20(Easy)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Detection Score (Medium)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/face-detection-on-wider-face-1-val.md?metric=Detection%20Score%20(Medium)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Detection Score (Hard)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/face-detection-on-wider-face-1-val.md?metric=Detection%20Score%20(Hard)>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
