Description

CUHK Face Sketch FERET Database (CUFSF) is for research on face sketch synthesis and face sketch recognition. It includes 1,194 persons from the FERET database [8]. For each person, there are a face photo with lighting variation and a sketch with shape exaggeration drawn by an artist when viewing this photo.

You may also have interests in the CUHK Face Sketch Database (CUFS) [3], which we published for research on face sketch synthesis and recognition before.

Examples

Downloads

Please download photos from the FERET homepage.
Find the file names of photos used for drawing sketches here.
Fiducial points of photos. (Note that these points are labeled on photos of size 768x712. Before use the points, the original FERET photos should be resized to 768x512, and padded with 100 pixels in the left and right.)
Please download the original sketches, fiducial points of sketches, and cropped sketches.
