System information (version)

OpenCV => 3.4

Operating System / Platform => Android

Compiler => cmake

Detailed description

Run the official face-detection sample and find that the value detected by the face is incorrect. It is clear that the current screen has no face, but the detected rectangular frame is still displayed.

code segment

 mJavaDetector.detectMultiScale(mGray, faces, 1.1, 2, 2, // TODO: objdetect.CV_HAAR_SCALE_IMAGE
                new Size(mAbsoluteFaceSize, mAbsoluteFaceSize), new Size());
  Rect[] facesArray = faces.toArray();
for (int i = 0; i < facesArray.length; i++)
    Imgproc.rectangle(mRgba, facesArray[i].tl(), facesArray[i].br(), FACE_RECT_COLOR, 3);

there will always be false detections. what did you expect ?

you could increase the minNeighbours param (to say,3, 4 or 5), until you start losing valid detections

Are we talking about false positives on detection (not recognition) ? If that's the case - the model used is not trained well enough i am afraid - only my opinion.

If it would be my own model i would use hard negative mining to further improve the model. Just my 2 cents.

@berak minNeighbours I have already set it up, but there is still a problem

@berak I don't understand what you mean.

@berak My problem is that the current frame has no face, but it detects the "face"

And if you really want a robust solution, go for a YOLOv2 detector, based on the same data. Will beat the cascades every single time.

if you really want to stick with the cascades, at least use the frontalface_improved_lbp one, which has several rounds of hard negative mining and is thus way more robust than the out of the box haarcascade model. As stated by everyone, you will always have false detections (face rectangles where there is no face). Those are almost completely gone in the improved model. How we got there can be read here.
