KomNET: Face Image Dataset from Various Media for Face Recognition

KomNet is a face image dataset originated from three media sources which can be used to recognize faces. KomNET contains face images which were collected from three different media sources, i.e. mobile phone camera, digital camera, and media social. The collected face dataset was frontal face image or facing the camera. The face dataset originated from the three media were collected without certain conditions such as lighting, background, haircut, mustache and beard, head cover, glasses, and differences of expression. KomNet dataset were collected from 50 clusters in which each of them consisted of 24 face images. To increase the number of training data, the face images were propagated with augmentation image technique, in which ten augmentations were used such as Rotate, Flip, Gaussian Blur, Gamma Contrast, Sigmoid Contrast, Sharpen, Emboss, Histogram Equalization, Hue and Saturation, Average Blur so the face images became 240 face images per cluster. The author trained the dataset by using CNN-based transfer learning VGGface. KomNET dataset are freely available on https://data.mendeley.com/datasets/hsv83m5zbb/2.
