Introduction

UTKFace dataset is a large-scale face dataset with long age span (range from 0 to 116 years old). The dataset consists of over 20,000 face images with annotations of age, gender, and ethnicity. The images cover large variation in pose, facial expression, illumination, occlusion, resolution, etc. This dataset could be used on a variety of tasks, e.g., face detection, age estimation, age progression/regression, landmark localization, etc. Some sample images are shown as following

Highlights

• consists of 20k+ face images in the wild (only single face in one image)
• provides the correspondingly aligned and cropped faces
• provides the corresponding landmarks (68 points)
• images are labelled by age, gender, and ethnicity

Samples

Datasets

In-the-wild Faces	Aligned&Cropped Faces	Landmarks (68 points)
ZIP File (1.3GB)	ZIP File (107MB)	TXT File (12MB)

Labels

The labels of each face image is embedded in the file name, formated like [age]_[gender]_[race]_[date&time].jpg

• [age] is an integer from 0 to 116, indicating the age
• [gender] is either 0 (male) or 1 (female)
• [race] is an integer from 0 to 4, denoting White, Black, Asian, Indian, and Others (like Hispanic, Latino, Middle Eastern).
• [date&time] is in the format of yyyymmddHHMMSSFFF, showing the date and time an image was collected to UTKFace

Parse Landmarks

In the folder readFaceLandmark, a demo code read_face_landmark.m in Matlab is provided to parse the landmarks and plot landmarks on Aligned&Cropped Faces. To run the demo, just type

>> read_face_landmark

License Claim

• The UTKFace dataset is avaiable for non-commercial research purposes only.
• The aligned and cropped images, as well as landmarks, are obtained by Dlib.
• Please note that all the images are collected from the Internet which are not property of AICIP. AICIP is not responsible for the content nor the meaning of these images.
• The copyright belongs to the original owners. If any of the images belongs to you, please let us know and we will remove it from our dataset immediately.
• The ground truth of age, gender and race are estimated through the DEX algorithm and double checked by a human annotator. If you find anything inaccurate, please let us know.
