What Are Face Datasets?
Image datasets include digital images chosen especially to help test, train, and evaluate the performance of ML and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, typically computer vision algorithms. Specifically, face datasets include images of human faces, curated for machine learning (ML) projects. See a list of commonly used face datasets.
A face dataset includes faces shown in a variety of lighting conditions, emotions, poses, ethnicity, gender, age, and other factors. Face datasets are key enablers of face recognition, a computer vision field applicable to various use cases, such as augmented reality (AR), personal device security, and video surveillance.
