YouTube Celebrities Face Tracking and Recognition Dataset
This dataset is released as a part of the work described in [1]. Please reference the paper if you use this set in your work. More details about this work, including demonstration videos, can be found on our Face Project page.
Description
The data consists of two parts: (1) video clips and (2) initialization data.
Video Clips
The dataset contains 1910 sequences of 47 subjects. All videos are encoded in MPEG4 at 25fps rate. The filenames conform to the following convention:
aaaa_bb_ccc_name.avi
where
Field | Meaning |
---|---|
aaaa | unique sequence ID |
bb | subject clip ID |
ccc | video segment ID |
name | name of the subject |
For example, “1906_03_007_vladimir_putin.avi” means sequence ID 1906, clip 03 (out of 3 clips from the same subject), 7th segment from the 3rd clip, and subject Vladimir Putin.
Examples of some of the clips are shown below.
Initialization
For each video, this MATLAB file contains initial frame face bounding boxes, manually marked, represented as an affine parameter vector. The 6-dim vector contains (pos-x, pos-y, scale, rot, *,*). The last two parameters are related to a skew transform and can be ignored.
Download
The tar file of video clips can be downloaded from here. Note that this file is about 900MB in size. Initial parameters (2MB) can be downloaded from here.
