## Benchmark Details

### How to Benchmark

Run benchmarks on your own hardware:

```bash
# Detection speed
python scripts/run_detection.py --image assets/test.jpg --iterations 100

# Compare models
python scripts/run_detection.py --image assets/test.jpg --method retinaface --iterations 100
python scripts/run_detection.py --image assets/test.jpg --method scrfd --iterations 100
```

### Accuracy Metrics Explained

- **WIDER FACE**: Standard face detection benchmark with three difficulty levels
  - **Easy**: Large faces (>50px), clear backgrounds
  - **Medium**: Medium-sized faces (30-50px), moderate occlusion
  - **Hard**: Small faces (<30px), heavy occlusion, blur

  *Accuracy values are from the original papers - see references below*

- **Model Size**: ONNX model file size (affects download time and memory)
- **Params**: Number of model parameters (affects inference speed)

### Important Notes

1. **Speed varies by**:
   - Image resolution
   - Number of faces in image
   - Hardware (CPU/GPU/CoreML)
   - Batch size
   - Operating system

2. **Accuracy varies by**:
   - Image quality
   - Lighting conditions
   - Face pose and occlusion
   - Demographic factors

3. **Always benchmark on your specific use case** before choosing a model
