Appendix A. Specifications#
Runtime performance#
Mobile environment#
Face detection performance depends on input image parameters such as resolution and bit depth as well as the size of the detected face. The iOS platform uses mobilenet by default.
Input data characteristics:
- Image resolution: 640x480px;
- Image format: 24 BPP RGB;
IOS#
Performance measurements are presented for ARM of iPhones X, 7 and 6 in tables below. Measured values are averages of at least 100 experiments. Mobilenet is used by default. The number of threads auto means that will be taken the maximum number of available threads. For this mode use the -1 value for the numThreads parameter in the runtime.conf. This number of threads is equal to according number of available processor cores. We strongly recommend you to follow this recommendation; otherwise, performance can be significantly reduced. Description of accoding settings you can find in "Configuration Guide - Runtime settings".

Descriptor size#
The table below shows size of serialized descriptors to estimate memory requirements.
"Descriptor size"
| Descriptor version | Data size (bytes) | Metadata size (bytes) | Total size |
|---|---|---|---|
| CNN 54 | 512 | 8 | 520 |
Metadata includes signature and version information that may be omitted during serialization if the NoSignature flag is specified.
When estimating individual descriptor size in memory or serialization storage requirements with default options, consider using values from the "Total size" column.
When estimating memory requirements for descriptor batches, use values from the "Data size" column instead, since a descriptor batch does not duplicate metadata per descriptor and thus is more memory-efficient.
These numbers are for approximate computation only, since they do not include overhead like memory alignment for accelerated SIMD processing and the like.
Feature matrix#
Mobile versions come in two editions: the frontend edition (or FE for short) and the complete edition.
