Building a Deep Face Detection Model with Python and TensorFlow (Part 5)

Welcome back to our tutorial on building a deep face detection model using Python and TensorFlow. In this part, we'll cover steps 12 and 13, including evaluating the model's performance and fine-tuning it for better results.

12. Evaluate Model Performance

12.1 Evaluate on Test Data

test_loss = model.evaluate(test)
print("Test Loss:", test_loss)

12.2 Visualize Model Predictions on Test Data

test_data = test.as_numpy_iterator()
test_sample = test_data.next()
yhat = model.predict(test_sample[0])

fig, ax = plt.subplots(ncols=4, figsize=(20, 20))
for idx in range(4): 
    sample_image = test_sample[0][idx]
    sample_coords = yhat[1][idx]

    if yhat[0][idx] > 0.9:
        cv2.rectangle(sample_image, 
                      tuple(np.multiply(sample_coords[:2], [120, 120]).astype(int)),
                      tuple(np.multiply(sample_coords[2:], [120, 120]).astype(int)), 
                      (255, 0, 0), 2)

    ax[idx].imshow(sample_image)

13. Fine-tune the Model

13.1 Experiment with Different Architectures
You can experiment with different base architectures such as ResNet, Inception, or EfficientNet to improve the model's performance.

13.2 Adjust Hyperparameters
Fine-tune the learning rate, batch size, and number of epochs to find the optimal combination for your dataset.

13.3 Data Augmentation
Explore more advanced data augmentation techniques to further enhance the model's ability to generalize to unseen data.

13.4 Regularization Techniques
Consider adding dropout layers or L2 regularization to prevent overfitting and improve the model's generalization.

13.5 Transfer Learning
Utilize pre-trained models and transfer learning techniques to leverage knowledge learned from large datasets.
