Low confidence score (~0.3) for clear face images using SCRFD model
Author: satya-gopalCreated Apr 15, 2026Updated Jul 31, 2026
I have integrated the SCRFD face detection model into my application. However, I am encountering an issue where the model returns a very low confidence score (~0.3) even when the input image contains a clearly visible and well-defined face.
Details: The input image has: A clear, frontal face Good lighting conditions No significant occlusion Expected [behavior:] The model should return a higher confidence score for such images Actual behavior: The model outputs a confidence score around 0.3, which is unexpectedly low
Could you please help clarify:
What could cause such low confidence scores for clear face images? Are there recommended preprocessing steps or thresholds for optimal results?
