AFW Dataset

What is AFW Dataset?

The AFW (Annotated Faces in the Wild) dataset, is made up of 205 images with 468 faces in total. Every face in the dataset is labeled with at most six landmarks with visibility labels, as well as a bounding box. AFW is often used for landmark estimation in real-world, cluttered images, face detection, and pose estimation.

Download AFW Dataset in Python

Instead of downloading the AFW dataset in Python, you can effortlessly load it in Python via our Deep Lake open-source with just one line of code.

Load AFW Dataset Training Subset in Python

				
					import deeplake
ds = deeplake.load("hub://activeloop/AFW")

AFW Dataset Structure

AFW Data Fields

image: tensor containing the image.
keypoints: tensor to identify various key points from the face

AFW Data Splits

The AFW dataset training set is composed of 337.

How to use AFW Dataset with PyTorch and TensorFlow in Python

Train a model on AFW dataset with PyTorch in Python

Let’s use Deep Lake built-in PyTorch one-line dataloader to connect the data to the compute:

				
					dataloader = ds.pytorch(num_workers=0, batch_size=4, shuffle=False)

Train a model on AFW dataset with TensorFlow in Python

				
					dataloader = ds.tensorflow()
