Abstract: Face detection is finding and locating all faces from the input pictures or videos.In order to solve the difficulties caused by the diversity of face size,especially small-sized faces,a new single shot small-scale face detection method is presented based on feature map fusion.The method first selects the feature map to be detected reasonably,and uses different feature maps to detect faces of different sizes.Then,by combining the deep feature map and the shallow feature map,the context information is introduced reasonably,thereby improving the detection precision of the small-sized face.The proposed model is trained and tested on the NVIDIA GTX TATAN X using the WIDERFACE dataset.The results on the three test subsets of WIDERFACE are 88.9% (hard),93.5% (medium),94.3% (easy) AP,at 39 fps.It is superior to other excellent detection methods in both detection accuracy and detection speed.

Key words: Contextual information, Feature map fusion, Single shot, Small size
