According to the authors of two papers associated with the dataset, over 1,700 students and pedestrians were "photographed using a long-range high-resolution surveillance camera without their knowledge" [^funding_uccs]. In this investigation, we examine the funding sources, contents of the dataset, photo EXIF data, and publicy available research project citations. According to the author's of the the UnConstrained College Students dataset it is primarliy used for research and development of "face detection and recognition research towards surveillance applications that are becoming more popular and more required nowadays, and where no automatic recognition algorithm has proven to be useful yet." Applications of this technology include usage by defense and intelligence agencies, who were also the primary funding sources of the UCCS dataset. - - -In the two papers associated with the release of the UCCS datasaet ([Unconstrained Face Detection and Open-Set Face Recognition Challenge](https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Unconstrained-Face-Detection-and-Open-Set-Face-G%C3%BCnther-Hu/d4f1eb008eb80595bcfdac368e23ae9754e1e745) and [Large Scale Unconstrained Open Set Face Database](https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Large-scale-unconstrained-open-set-face-database-Sapkota-Boult/07fcbae86f7a3ad3ea1cf95178459ee9eaf77cb1)), the researchers disclosed their funding sources as ODNI (United States Office of Director of National Intelligence), IARPA (Intelligence Advance Research Projects Activity), ONR MURI (Office of Naval Research and The Department of Defense Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative), Army SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research), SOCOM SBIR (Special Operations Command and Small Business Innovation Research), and the National Science Foundation.
