LFW: Labeled Faces in the Wild

LFW: Labeled Faces in the Wild:

This dataset contains labeled face images collected from the web with names of the people in the images as the labels. Some of these people have two or more number of images in the dataset. This dataset is designed for studying the problem of unconstrained face recognition and face verification. The original LFW dataset is available for download along with 3 sets of aligned images (funneled images, LFW-a, deep funneled).

Here is some information regarding this dataset:

  • Number of images in the dataset: 13,000 images (10-fold cross validation is recommended and training and test splits can be downloaded from the dataset page)

  • Number of identities: 5749

  • Image resolution: 250×250

More details and links for download can be found on the dataset page http://vis-www.cs.umass.edu/lfw/.
