A large-scale real-world dataset of masked and unmasked face images, collected and annotated by Wuhan University to support masked face detection, recognition, and verification research. It includes a 525-identity recognition set, simulated masked versions of standard benchmarks (WebFace, LFW, AgeDB-30, CFP-FP), and a verification set of 426 identities with matched/non-matched face pairs.

Use cases

• train a face recognition model that works when people wear masks
• find a labeled dataset of masked face images
• benchmark face verification accuracy under mask occlusion
• build a mask detection model for access control or gate systems
• evaluate face recognition on masked vs unmasked face pairs
• get simulated masked versions of standard face benchmarks like LFW

When to choose

• you need real-world photos of people wearing masks with identity labels for training or evaluation
• you want standardized verification pairs comparing masked and normal faces of the same identity
• you need masked variants of established benchmarks such as LFW, AgeDB-30, or CFP-FP
• you are researching occlusion-robust biometrics, e.g. for access control, attendance, or gate recognition

When to avoid

• you need a working algorithm or codebase rather than data - this repo is primarily a dataset with only demos
• you require a clear open-source license for commercial use - no license is specified in the repository
• you need general face datasets without masks, or very recent post-pandemic data
• your project depends on active software maintenance rather than a static data release
