Face Image Datasets
- Training Set: 10,000+ unique identities, 5+ images per identity
- Testing Set: 1,000+ unique identities (separate from training)
- Spoofing Dataset: Photo attacks, video attacks, mask attacks
- Quality Variations: Different lighting, poses, expressions
-
Synthetic Data Generation
- Procedural face generation for testing edge cases
- Adversarial examples for robustness testing
- Performance stress testing with large datasets
- All test data must be ethically sourced with proper consent
- No real biometric data stored in version control
- Test datasets anonymized and encrypted
- Regular data retention policy review
