WSD: Wild Selfie Dataset for Face Recognition in Selfie Images
With the rise of handy smart phones in the recent years, the trend of capturing selfie images is observed. Hence efficient approaches are required to be developed for recognising faces in selfie images. Due to the short distance between the camera and face in selfie images, and the different visual effects offered by the selfie apps, face recognition becomes more challenging with existing approaches. A dataset is needed to be developed to encourage the study to recognize faces in selfie images. In order to alleviate this problem and to facilitate the research on selfie face images, we develop a challenging Wild Selfie Dataset (WSD) where the images are captured from the selfie cameras of different smart phones, unlike existing datasets where most of the images are captured in controlled environment. The WSD dataset contains 45,424 images from 42 individuals (i.e., 24 female and 18 male subjects), which are divided into 40,862 training and 4,562 test images. The average number of images per subject is 1,082 with minimum and maximum number of images for any subject are 518 and 2,634, respectively. The proposed dataset consists of several challenges, including but not limited to augmented reality filtering, mirrored images, occlusion, illumination, scale, expressions, view-point, aspect ratio, blur, partial faces, rotation, and alignment. We compare the proposed dataset with existing benchmark datasets in terms of different characteristics. The complexity of WSD dataset is also observed experimentally, where the performance of the existing state-of-the-art face recognition methods is poor on WSD dataset, compared to the existing datasets. Hence, the proposed WSD dataset opens up new challenges in the area of face recognition and can be beneficial to the community to study the specific challenges related to selfie images and develop improved methods for face recognition in selfie images.
