Description

The Face Shape Classification Dataset includes 5000 images of female faces of celebrities from around the world, divided into 5 distinct facial shapes: heart, oblong, oval, round, and square. Each class contains 1000 images, divided between a training set (800) and a test set (200).

What is this dataset for?

  • Develop facial shape recognition algorithms
  • Create personalized recommendation systems for hairstyling or eyewear
  • Training generative AI models or facial aesthetics

Can it be enriched or improved?

This dataset can be enriched by adding additional annotations such as ethnicity, age, or facial symmetry. Applying image augmentation techniques (rotation, lighting) can also improve the robustness of models.
