I wonder how this works of people with darker skin tones. Often the contrast between face and environment is smaller, or at least significantly different. This has caused problems in face detection before.

Just tried to run it on few images from the internet, looks very good to me.

Why not try it out and report back? There is a live demo on the project page.

To add on to that, the demo is completely Client-side. You can turn off your net if you have any privacy issues.

The demo uses the webcam, and unfortunately I lack the proper skin color for this task.
