  • To deal with the problem that it is hard for convolution neural network to do face detection in low light environment, we propose a method combining image saliency and deep learning and apply it to low-light face detection, which integrates saliency and the original RGB channels of the image into neural network training. Sufficient experiments are implemented on DARK FACE, a low-light face dataset, and the results show that the proposed low-light face detection method achieves better detection accuracy than the existing mainstream face detection algorithms on DARK FACE, thus confirming the validity of the proposed method.
