Simplified LFW database for Face Recognition testing Building the database
  • To obtain this database, you can download the aligned version of the LFW database.
  • Use the images listed in the file image_list.txt
  • Note: A commercial system was used to align the images in the LFW database so that the positions of the eyes and the mouth are the same for all face images. To crop and resize the faces for face recognition, please use coordinates (105, 114) and (148, 114) for the right eye and left eye, respectively.
Evaluation Protocol
  • The evaluation of a face recognition method on this database is repeated for 9 iterations, where at iteration i, the first i images are used for training and the last (10-i) images are used for testing.
