LFW Dataset

What is LFW Dataset?

LFW (Labeled Faces in the Wild) dataset is a face photo database developed to explore the problem of unrestricted face recognition. LFW was released for research purposes to make advancements in face verification, not to conduct a comprehensive review of commercial algorithms prior to release. The database is an initial attempt to provide a set of categorized faces covering a range of circumstances that people commonly encounter in their daily lives. The database displays “normal” diversity in poses, lighting, focus, accuracy, facial expressions, age, gender, ethnicity, accessories, makeup, occlusions, background, and photographic quality. Despite this discrepancy, the images in the database are presented in a simple and consistent format for maximum usability.

Download LFW Dataset in Python

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

Load LFW Dataset in Python

				
					import deeplake
ds = deeplake.load('hub://activeloop/lfw')
				
			

LFW Dataset Structure

LFW Data Fields
  • images: tensor containing images of the people
  • names: tensor containing the names of the people depicted in the images

How to use LFW Dataset with PyTorch and TensorFlow in Python

Train a model on LFW Dataset with PyTorch in Python
				
					dataloader = ds.pytorch(num_workers = 0, batch_size= 4, shuffle = False)
				
			
Train a model on LFW Dataset with TensorFlow in Python
				
					dataloader = ds.tensorflow()
				
			

LFW Dataset Creation

Curation Rationale
Labeled Faces in the Wild has been released with the main goal of solving the unseen pair matching problem of face recognition, precisely aligning detection alignment recognition pipeline, and accurate and easy comparison of face recognition algorithms.
Data Collection and Normalization Information
This database, there are over 13,000 face images collected from the Internet in this database. Each face was signed with the name of the person depicted. 1680 of the people pictured have two or more different photos in the dataset.
