About This OTS Dataset
Introduction
Welcome to the African Human Face with Occlusion Dataset, meticulously curated to enhance face recognition models and support the development of advanced occlusion detection systems, biometric identification systems, KYC models, and other facial recognition technologies.
Facial Image Data
This dataset comprises over 5,000 human facial images, divided into participant-wise sets with each set including:
•
Occluded Images:
5 different high-quality facial images per individual occluded through various accessories such as masks, caps, sunglasses, or a combination of these accessories.
•
Normal Images:
One image without any accessories.
Diversity and Representation
The dataset includes contributions from a diverse network of individuals across African countries:
•
Geographical Representation:
Participants from countries including Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Benin, Somalia, Uganda, and more.
•
Demographics:
Participants range from 18 to 70 years old, representing both males and females in 60:40 ratio, respectively.
•
File Format:
The dataset contains images in JPEG and HEIC file format.
Quality and Conditions
To ensure high utility and robustness, all images are captured under varying conditions:
•
Lighting Conditions:
Images are taken in different lighting environments to ensure variability and realism.
•
Backgrounds:
A variety of backgrounds are available to enhance model generalization.
•
Device Quality:
Photos are taken using the latest mobile devices to ensure high resolution and clarity.
Metadata
Each facial image set is accompanied by detailed metadata for each participant, including:
•Unique Identifier
•File Name
•Age
•Gender
•Country
•Demographic Information
•Occlusion Type
•File Format
This metadata is essential for training models that can accurately recognize and identify human faces with occlusions across different demographics and conditions.
