# yolov8_animeface
Anime Face Detection using YOLOv8

## Dataset
Dataset was made created with 10 000 images manually annotated from safebooru. Split was train 70, val 20, test 10.

## Performance

This model is based on yolov8x6. It has been trained on the said dataset for 300 epoch at 1280px*1280px. It took ~110 hours to train on a RTX A4000.

On my dataset, the model performs particularly well with the default parameters.

```
Images  Instances    Box(P        R      mAP50     mAP50-95):
1002       1562      0.957      0.924      0.955      0.534
Speed: 1.3ms preprocess, 81.9ms inference, 0.0ms loss, 0.8ms postprocess per image
```

While it doesn't provide a huge mAP50-95, its predictions are always correct on the files I've tested. Confidence could be higher, but the model is very precise.

## Comparison with an existing model

While we can argue about the comparison between two models from different generations, I believe it is interesting to compare this model with [zymk9's model](https://github.com/zymk9/yolov5_anime), based on yolov5. They both have the same purpose and were trained in the same fashion.

On the same dataset with the same parameters (conf=0.001 & iou=0.6), yolov8x6-animeface produces better metrics than the one on yolov5x.

yolov8-animeface:
```
Images  Instances    Box(P        R      mAP50     mAP50-95):
1002       1562      0.956      0.919      0.953      0.532
Speed: 1.2ms preprocess, 81.2ms inference, 0.0ms loss, 1.0ms postprocess per image
```

yolov5-anime:

```
Images  Instances    Box(P        R      mAP50     mAP50-95):
1003       1566      0.778      0.685      0.633      0.232
Speed: 1.5ms pre-process, 85.5ms inference, 1.4ms NMS per image at shape (32, 3, 1280, 1280)
```

yolov5-anime provides better results when images are resized at 640px, but it still is inferior to yolov8-animeface with the same parameters.
Surprisingly enough, yolov5 is way more confident that yolov8. However, it also has way more false positives.

## Conclusion

While this model performs greatly on my dataset, my metrics can differ from yours. One lighter model might be released on a later occasion.
