# 3D Face Datasets

This repository provides a list of 3D face datasets. Each dataset contains the original reference, a short description, year published and download URL. Note that, the first 8 datasets (e.g. FRGCv2, BU3-DFE, Bosphorus, Texes FRD, BU4DFE, CASIA, UMB DB, 3D-TEC, ND-2006 and LS3D-W) are most often used as training and validation data for deep learning-based 3D face recognition approaches. To the best of my knowledge, the LS3DFace (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1711.05942.pdf) is the largest 3D face dataset to date, which contains 1,853 identities with 31,860 scans. This is in fact a merged dataset from the most challenging public datasets.

## 4. Texas 3D Face Recognition Database (Texas 3DFRD)

**Original paper**: S. Gupta, M. K. Markey, A. C. Bovik, "Anthropometric 3D Face Recognition", International Journal of Computer Vision, Volume 90, 3:331-349, 2010.

**Description**: The Texas 3D Face Recognition database (Texas 3DFRD) is a collection of 1149 pairs of facial color and range images of 105 adult human subjects. These images were acquired using a stereo imaging system manufactured by 3Q Technologies (Atlanta, GA) at a very high spatial resolution of 0.32 mm along the x, y, and z dimensions. During each acquisition, the color and range images were captured simultaneously and thus the two are perfectly registered to each other. This dataset is used for research and purposes only and may not be used for any commercial purposes.

**Description**: This dataset comprises a total of 1109 sentences uttered by 14 native English speakers (6 males and 8 females). A real time 3D scanner and a professional microphone were used to capture the facial movements and the speech of the speakers. The dense dynamic face scans were acquired at 25 frames per second and the RMS error in the 3D reconstruction is about 0.5 mm. Each sentence was recorded twice: First, the speaker read the sentence from text, with a neutral expression. Then, the speaker watched a clip extracted from a feature film where the sentence is acted by professional actors and the context is highly emotional. After rating the emotions induced by the video, the speaker repeated the sentence.
