MegaPixels.cc is a research project about publicly available face recognition datasets. This website is based, in part, on an earlier installations and research about facial recognition datasets. Since then it has evolved into a large-scale survey of publicly-available face and person analysis datasets. Initially this site was planned as a facial recognition tool to search the datasets. After building several prototypes using over 1 million face images from these datasets, it became clear that facial recognition was mereley a face similar search. The results were not accurate enough to align with goals of this website: to promote responsible use of data and expose existing and past ethical breaches.

An academic report and presentation on the findings of this project is forthcoming. Throughout 2019, this site will be updated with more datasets and research reports on the general themes of remote biometric analysis and media collected "in the wild". The continued research on MegaPixels is supported by a 1 year Researcher-in-Residence grant from Karlsruhe HfG (2019-2020).

When possible, and once thoroughly verified, data generated for MegaPixels will be made available for download on github.com/adamhrv/megapixels

(ignore) research notes

The Asian Face Age Dataset (AFAD) is a new dataset proposed for evaluating the performance of age estimation, which contains more than 160K facial images and the corresponding age and gender labels. This dataset is oriented to age estimation on Asian faces, so all the facial images are for Asian faces. It is noted that the AFAD is the biggest dataset for age estimation to date. It is well suited to evaluate how deep learning methods can be adopted for age estimation. -Motivation
-
For age estimation, there are several public datasets for evaluating the performance of a specific algorithm, such as FG-NET [1] (1002 face images), MORPH I (1690 face images), and MORPH II[2] (55,608 face images). Among them, the MORPH II is the biggest public dataset to date. On the other hand, as we know it is necessary to collect a large scale dataset to train a deep Convolutional Neural Network. Therefore, the MORPH II dataset is extensively used to evaluate how deep learning methods can be adopted for age estimation [3][4].
-
However, the ethnic is very unbalanced for the MORPH II dataset, i.e., it has only less than 1% Asian faces. In order to evaluate the previous methods for age estimation on Asian Faces, the Asian Face Age Dataset (AFAD) was proposed.
-
There are 164,432 well-labeled photos in the AFAD dataset. It consist of 63,680 photos for female as well as 100,752 photos for male, and the ages range from 15 to 40. The distribution of photo counts for distinct ages are illustrated in the figure above. Some samples are shown in the Figure on the top. Its download link is provided in the "Download" section.
-
In addition, we also provide a subset of the AFAD dataset, called AFAD-Lite, which only contains PLACEHOLDER well-labeled photos. It consist of PLACEHOLDER photos for female as well as PLACEHOLDER photos for male, and the ages range from 15 to 40. The distribution of photo counts for distinct ages are illustrated in Fig. PLACEHOLDER. Its download link is also provided in the "Download" section.
-
The AFAD dataset is built by collecting selfie photos on a particular social network -- RenRen Social Network (RSN) [5]. The RSN is widely used by Asian students including middle school, high school, undergraduate, and graduate students. Even after leaving from school, some people still access their RSN account to connect with their old classmates. So, the age of the RSN user crosses a wide range from 15-years to more than 40-years old.
-
Please notice that this dataset is made available for academic research purpose only.

The motivation for the AFLW database is the need for a large-scale, multi-view, real-world face database with annotated facial features. We gathered the images on Flickr using a wide range of face relevant tags (e.g., face, mugshot, profile face). The downloaded set of images was manually scanned for images containing faces.

Brainwash is a dataset of webcam images taken from the Brainwash Cafe in San Francisco in 2014

The Brainwash dataset includes 11,918 images of "everyday life of a busy downtown cafe" and is used for training head detection surveillance algorithms -

Brainwash Dataset

Brainwash is a head detection dataset created from San Francisco's Brainwash Cafe livecam footage. It includes 11,918 images of "everyday life of a busy downtown cafe" 1 captured at 100 second intervals throught the entire day. Brainwash dataset was captured during 3 days in 2014: October 27, November 13, and November 24. According the author's reserach paper introducing the dataset, the images were acquired with the help of Angelcam.com. 2

Brainwash is not a widely used dataset but since its publication by Stanford University in 2015, it has notably appeared in several research papers from the National University of Defense Technology in Changsha, China. In 2016 and in 2017 researchers there conducted studies on detecting people's heads in crowded scenes for the purpose of surveillance. 3 4

If you happen to have been at Brainwash cafe in San Francisco at any time on October 26, November 13, or November 24 in 2014 you are most likely included in the Brainwash dataset and have unwittingly contributed to surveillance research.

COFW is "is designed to benchmark face landmark algorithms in realistic conditions, which include heavy occlusions and large shape variations" [Robust face landmark estimation under occlusion].

We asked four people with different levels of computer vision knowledge to each collect 250 faces representative of typical real-world images, with the clear goal of challenging computer vision methods. -The result is 1,007 images of faces obtained from a variety of sources.
-

Robust face landmark estimation under occlusion

Our face dataset is designed to present faces in real-world conditions. Faces show large variations in shape and occlusions due to differences in pose, expression, use of accessories such as sunglasses and hats and interactions with objects (e.g. food, hands, microphones, etc.). All images were hand annotated in our lab using the same 29 landmarks as in LFPW. We annotated both the landmark positions as well as their occluded/unoccluded state. The faces are occluded to different degrees, with large variations in the type of occlusions encountered. COFW has an average occlusion of over 23%. -To increase the number of training images, and since COFW has the exact same landmarks as LFPW, for training we use the original non-augmented 845 LFPW faces + 500 COFW faces (1345 total), and for testing the remaining 507 COFW faces. To make sure all images had occlusion labels, we annotated occlusion on the available 845 LFPW training images, finding an average of only 2% occlusion.

Duke MTMC is a dataset of surveillance camera footage of students on Duke University campus

Duke MTMC contains over 2 million video frames and 2,700 unique identities collected from 8 HD cameras at Duke University campus in March 2014 -

Duke MTMC

The Duke Multi-Target, Multi-Camera Tracking Dataset (MTMC) is a dataset of video recorded on Duke University campus for research and development of networked camera surveillance systems. MTMC tracking is used for citywide dragnet surveillance systems such as those used throughout China by SenseTime 1 and the oppressive monitoring of 2.5 million Uyghurs in Xinjiang by SenseNets 2. In fact researchers from both SenseTime 4 5 and SenseNets 3 used the Duke MTMC dataset for their research.

The Duke MTMC dataset is unique because it is the largest publicly available MTMC and person re-identification dataset and has the longest duration of annotated video. In total, the Duke MTMC dataset provides over 14 hours of 1080p video from 8 synchronized surveillance cameras. 6 It is among the most widely used person re-identification datasets in the world. The approximately 2,700 unique people in the Duke MTMC videos, most of whom are students, are used for research and development of surveillance technologies by commercial, academic, and even defense organizations.

A collection of 1,600 out of the 2,700 students and passersby captured into the Duke MTMC surveillance research dataset. These students were also included in the Duke MTMC Re-ID dataset extension used for person re-identification. © megapixels.cc

The creation and publication of the Duke MTMC dataset in 2016 was originally funded by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory and the National Science Foundation 6. Since 2016 use of the Duke MTMC dataset images have been publicly acknowledged in research funded by or on behalf of the Chinese National University of Defense 7 8, IARPA and IBM 9, and U.S. Department of Homeland Security 10.

The 8 cameras deployed on Duke's campus were specifically setup to capture students "during periods between lectures, when pedestrian traffic is heavy". 6 Camera 7 and 2 capture large groups of prospective students and children. Camera 5 was positioned to capture students as they enter and exit Duke University's main chapel. Each camera's location is documented below.

Release 1 of LFPW consists of 1,432 faces from images downloaded from the web using simple text queries on sites such as google.com, flickr.com, and yahoo.com. Each image was labeled by three MTurk workers, and 29 fiducial points, shown below, are included in dataset. LFPW was originally described in the following publication:
-
Due to copyright issues, we cannot distribute image files in any format to anyone. Instead, we have made available a list of image URLs where you can download the images yourself. We realize that this makes it impossible to exactly compare numbers, as image links will slowly disappear over time, but we have no other option. This seems to be the way other large web-based databases seem to be evolving.

Labeled Faces in the Wild

[ PAGE UNDER DEVELOPMENT ]

Labeled Faces in The Wild (LFW) is "a database of face photographs designed for studying the problem of unconstrained face recognition 1. It is used to evaluate and improve the performance of facial recognition algorithms in academic, commercial, and government research. According to BiometricUpdate.com 3, LFW is "the most widely used evaluation set in the field of facial recognition, LFW attracts a few dozen teams from around the globe including Google, Facebook, Microsoft Research Asia, Baidu, Tencent, SenseTime, Face++ and Chinese University of Hong Kong."

The LFW dataset includes 13,233 images of 5,749 people that were collected between 2002-2004. LFW is a subset of Names of Faces and is part of the first facial recognition training dataset created entirely from images appearing on the Internet. The people appearing in LFW are...

The Names and Faces dataset was the first face recognition dataset created entire from online photos. However, Names and Faces and LFW are not the first face recognition dataset created entirely "in the wild". That title belongs to the UCD dataset. Images obtained "in the wild" means using an image without explicit consent or awareness from the subject or photographer.

"MARS is an extension of the Market-1501 dataset. During collection, we placed six near synchronized cameras in the campus of Tsinghua university. There were Five 1,0801920 HD cameras and one 640480 SD camera. MARS consists of 1,261 different pedestrians whom are captured by at least 2 cameras. Given a query tracklet, MARS aims to retrieve tracklets that contain the same ID." - main paper
bbox "0065C1T0002F0016.jpg", "0065" is the ID of the pedestrian. "C1" denotes the first -camera (there are totally 6 cameras). "T0002" means the 2th tracklet. "F016" is the 16th frame -within this tracklet. For the tracklets, their names are accumulated for each ID; but for frames, -they start from "F001" in each tracklet.

Oxford Town Centre is a dataset of surveillance camera footage from Cornmarket St Oxford, England

The Oxford Town Centre dataset includes approximately 2,200 identities and is used for research and development of face recognition systems -

Oxford Town Centre

The Oxford Town Centre dataset is a CCTV video of pedestrians in a busy downtown area in Oxford used for research and development of activity and face recognition systems. 1 The CCTV video was obtained from a public surveillance camera at the corner of Cornmarket and Market St. in Oxford, England and includes approximately 2,200 people. Since its publication in 2009 2 the Oxford Town Centre dataset has been used in over 80 verified research projects including commercial research by Amazon, Disney, OSRAM, and Huawei; and academic research in China, Israel, Russia, Singapore, the US, and Germany among dozens more.

The Oxford Town Centre dataset is unique in that it uses footage from a public surveillance camera that would otherwise be designated for public safety. The video shows that the pedestrians act normally and unrehearsed indicating they neither knew of or consented to participation in the research project.

Location

The street location of the camera used for the Oxford Town Centre dataset was confirmed by matching the road, benches, and store signs source. At that location, two public CCTV cameras exist mounted on the side of the Northgate House building at 13-20 Cornmarket St. Because of the lower camera's mounting pole directionality, a view from a private camera in the building across the street can be ruled out because it would have to show more of silhouette of the lower camera's mounting pole. Two options remain: either the public CCTV camera mounted to the side of the building was used or the researchers mounted their own camera to the side of the building in the same location. Because the researchers used many other existing public CCTV cameras for their research projects it is likely that they would also be able to access to this camera.

To discredit the theory that this public CCTV is only seen pointing the other way in Google Street View images, at least one public photo shows the upper CCTV camera pointing in the same direction as the Oxford Town Centre dataset proving the camera can and has been rotated before.

As for the capture date, the text on the storefront display shows a sale happening from December 2nd – 7th indicating the capture date was between or just before those dates. The capture year is either 2008 or 2007 since prior to 2007 the Carphone Warehouse (photo, history) did not exist at this location. Since the sweaters in the GAP window display are more similar to those in a GAP website snapshot from November 2007, our guess is that the footage was obtained during late November or early December 2007. The lack of street vendors and slight waste residue near the bench suggests that is was probably a weekday after rubbish removal.

Footage from this public CCTV camera was used to create the Oxford Town Centre dataset. Image sources: Google Street View (<a href="https://www.google.com/maps/@51.7528162,-1.2581152,3a,50.3y,310.59h,87.23t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s3FsGN-PqYC-VhQGjWgmBdQ!2e0!5s20120601T000000!7i13312!8i6656">map</a>)

UnConstrained College Students is a dataset of long-range surveillance photos of students at University of Colorado in Colorado Springs

The UnConstrained College Students dataset includes 16,149 images and 1,732 identities of subjects on University of Colorado Colorado Springs campus and is used for making face recognition and face detection algorithms -

UnConstrained College Students

[ page under development ]

UnConstrained College Students (UCCS) is a dataset of long-range surveillance photos captured at University of Colorado Colorado Springs. According to the authors of two papers associated with the dataset, subjects were "photographed using a long-range high-resolution surveillance camera without their knowledge" 2. To create the dataset, the researchers used a Canon 7D digital camera fitted with a Sigma 800mm telephoto lens and photographed students 150–200m away through their office window. Photos were taken during the morning and afternoon while students were walking to and from classes. The primary uses of this dataset are to train, validate, and build recognition and face detection algorithms for realistic surveillance scenarios.

What makes the UCCS dataset unique is that it includes the highest resolution images of any publicly available face recognition dataset discovered so far (18MP), that it was captured on a campus without consent or awareness using a long-range telephoto lens, and that it was funded by United States defense and intelligence agencies.

Combined funding sources for the creation of the initial and final release of the dataset include ODNI (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. 1 2

In 2017 the UCCS face dataset was used for a defense and intelligence agency funded face recognition challenge at the International Joint Biometrics Conference in Denver, CO. And in 2018 the dataset was used for the 2nd Unconstrained Face Detection and Open Set Recognition Challenge at the European Computer Vision Conference (ECCV) in Munich, Germany. Additional research projects that have used the UCCS dataset are included below in the list of verified citations.

Location

The location of the camera and subjects can confirmed using several visual cues in the dataset images: the unique pattern of the sidewalk that is only used on the UCCS Pedestrian Spine near the West Lawn, the two UCCS sign poles with matching graphics still visible in Google Street View, the no parking sign and directionality of its arrow, the back of street sign next to it, the slight bend in the sidewalk, the presence of cars passing in the background of the image, and the far wall of the parking garage all match images in the dataset. The original papers also provides another clue: a picture of the camera inside the office that was used to create the dataset. The window view in this image provides another match for the brick pattern on the north facade of the Kraember Family Library and the green metal fence along the sidewalk.

Funding

The UnConstrained College Students dataset is associated with two main research papers: "Large Scale Unconstrained Open Set Face Database" and "Unconstrained Face Detection and Open-Set Face Recognition Challenge". Collectively, these papers and the creation of the dataset have received funding from the following organizations:

ONR (Office of Naval Research) MURI (The Department of Defense Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative) grant N00014-08-1-0638
Army SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) grant W15P7T-12-C-A210
SOCOM (Special Operations Command) SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) grant H92222-07-P-0020
National Science Foundation Grant IIS-1320956
ODNI (Office of Director of National Intelligence)
IARPA (Intelligence Advance Research Projects Activity) R&D contract 2014-14071600012

Opting Out

If you attended University of Colorado Colorado Springs and were captured by the long range surveillance camera used to create this dataset, there is unfortunately currently no way to be removed. The authors do not provide any options for students to opt-out nor were students informed they would be used for training face recognition. According to the authors, the lack of any consent or knowledge of participation is what provides part of the value of Unconstrained College Students Dataset.

Ethics

Please direct any questions about the ethics of the dataset to the University of Colorado Colorado Springs Ethics and Compliance Office

Facial recognition is a scam.

During the last 20 years commericial, academic, and governmental agencies have promoted the false dream of a future with face recognition. This essay debunks the popular myth that such a thing ever existed.

There is no such thing as face recognition. For the last 20 years, government agencies, commercial organizations, and academic institutions have played the public as a fool, selling a roadmap of the future that simply does not exist. Facial recognition, as it is currently defined, promoted, and sold to the public, government, and commercial sector is a scam.

Committed to developing robust solutions with superhuman accuracy, the industry has repeatedly undermined itself by never actually developing anything close to "face recognition".

There is only biased feature vector clustering and probabilistic thresholding.

Motivation

Ever since government agencies began developing face recognition in the early 1960's, datasets of face images have always been central to developing and validating face recognition technologies. Today, these datasets no longer originate in labs, but instead from family photo albums posted on photo sharing sites, surveillance camera footage from college campuses, search engine queries for celebrities, cafe livestreams, or videos on YouTube.

During the last year, hundreds of these facial analysis datasets created "in the wild" have been collected to understand how they contribute to a global supply chain of biometric data that is powering the global facial recognition industry.

While many of these datasets include public figures such as politicians, athletes, and actors; they also include many non-public figures: digital activists, students, pedestrians, and semi-private shared photo albums are all considered "in the wild" and fair game for research projects. Some images are used with creative commons licenses, yet others were taken in unconstrained scenarios without awareness or consent. At first glance it appears many of the datasets were created for seemingly harmless academic research, but when examined further it becomes clear that they're also used by foreign defense agencies.

The MegaPixels site is based on an earlier installation (also supported by Mozilla) at the Tactical Tech Glassroom in London in 2017; and a commission from the Elevate arts festival curated by Berit Gilma about pedestrian recognition datasets in 2018, and research during CV Dazzle from 2010-2015. Through the many prototypes, conversations, pitches, PDFs, and false starts this project has endured during the last 5 years, it eventually evolved into something much different than originally imagined. Now, as datasets become increasingly influential in shaping the computational future, it's clear that they must be critically analyzed to understand the biases, shortcomings, funding sources, and contributions to the surveillance industry. However, it's misguided to only criticize these datasets for their flaws without also praising their contribution to society. Without publicly available facial analysis datasets there would be less public discourse, less open-source software, and less peer-reviewed research. Public datasets can indeed become a vital public good for the information economy but as this projects aims to illustrate, many ethical questions arise about consent, intellectual property, surveillance, and privacy.

- - - - - -

Ever since the first computational facial recognition research project by the CIA in the early 1960s, data has always played a vital role in the development of our biometric future. Without facial recognition datasets there would be no facial recognition. Datasets are an indispensable part of any artificial intelligence system because, as Geoffrey Hinton points out:

Our relationship to computers has changed. Instead of programming them, we now show them and they figure it out. - Geoffrey Hinton
-

Algorithms learn from datasets. And we program algorithms by building datasets. But datasets aren't like code. There's no programming language made of data except for the data itself.

Ignore content below these lines

It was the early 2000s. Face recognition was new and no one seemed sure exactly how well it was going to perform in practice. In theory, face recognition was poised to be a game changer, a force multiplier, a strategic military advantage, a way to make cities safer and to secure borders. This was the future John Ashcroft demanded with the Total Information Awareness act of the 2003 and that spooks had dreamed of for decades. It was a future that academics at Carnegie Mellon Universtiy and Colorado State University would help build. It was also a future that celebrities would play a significant role in building. And to the surprise of ordinary Internet users like myself and perhaps you, it was a future that millions of Internet users would unwittingly play role in creating.

Now the future has arrived and it doesn't make sense. Facial recognition works yet it doesn't actually work. Facial recognition is cheap and accessible but also expensive and out of control. Facial recognition research has achieved headline grabbing superhuman accuracies over 99.9% yet facial recognition is also dangerously inaccurate. During a trial installation at Sudkreuz station in Berlin in 2018, 20% of the matches were wrong, a number so low that it should not have any connection to law enforcement or justice. And in London, the Metropolitan police had been using facial recognition software that mistakenly identified an alarming 98% of people as criminals ¹, which perhaps is a crime itself.

MegaPixels is an online art project that explores the history of facial recognition from the perspective of datasets. To paraphrase the artist Trevor Paglen, whoever controls the dataset controls the meaning. MegaPixels aims to unravel the meanings behind the data and expose the darker corners of the biometric industry that have contributed to its growth. MegaPixels does not start with a conclusion, a moralistic slant, or a

Whether or not to build facial recognition was a question that can no longer be asked. As an outspoken critic of face recognition I've developed, and hopefully furthered, my understanding during the last 10 years I've spent working with computer vision. Though I initially disagreed, I've come to see technocratic perspective as a non-negotiable reality. As Oren (nytimes article) wrote in NYT Op-Ed "the horse is out of the barn" and the only thing we can do collectively or individually is to steer towards the least worse outcome. Computational communication has entered a new era and it's both exciting and frightening to explore the potentials and opportunities. In 1997 getting access to 1 teraFLOPS of computational power would have cost you $55 million and required a strategic partnership with the Department of Defense. At the time of writing, anyone can rent 1 teraFLOPS on a cloud GPU marketplace for less than $1/day. ².

I hope that this project will illuminate the darker areas of strange world of facial recognition that have not yet received attention and encourage discourse in academic, industry, and . By no means do I believe discourse can save the day. Nor do I think creating artwork can. In fact, I'm not exactly sure what the outcome of this project will be. The project is not so much what I publish here but what happens after. This entire project is only a prologue.

As McLuhan wrote, "You can't have a static, fixed position in the electric age". And in our hyper-connected age of mass surveillance, artificial intelligece, and unevenly distributed virtual futures the most irrational thing to be is rational. Increasingly the world is becoming a contradiction where people use surveillance to protest surveillance, use

Like many projects, MegaPixels had spent years meandering between formats, unfeasible budgets, and was generally too niche of a subject. The basic idea for this project, as proposed to the original Glass Room installation in 2016 in NYC, was to build an interactive mirror that showed people if they had been included in the LFW facial recognition dataset. The idea was based on my reaction to all the datasets I'd come across during research for the CV Dazzle project. I'd noticed strange datasets created for training and testing face detection algorithms. Most were created in labratory settings and their interpretation of face data was very strict.

A decade earlier the Department of Homeland Security and the Counterdrug Technology Development Program Office initated a feasibilty study called FERET (FacE REcognition Technology) to "develop automatic face recognition capabilities that could be employed to assist security, intelligence, and law enforcement personnel in the performance of their duties [^feret_website]."

One problem with FERET dataset was that the photos were in controlled settings. For face recognition to work it would have to be used in uncontrolled settings. Even newer datasets such as the Multi-PIE (Pose, Illumination, and Expression) from Carnegie Mellon University included only indoor photos of cooperative subjects. Not only were the photos completely unrealistic, CMU's Multi-Pie included only 18 individuals and cost $500 for academic use [^cmu_multipie_cost], took years to create, and required consent from every participant.

High resolution insights from low resolution data

This post will be about the meaning of "face". How do people define it? How to biometrics researchers define it? How has it changed during the last decade.

What can you know from a very small amount of information?

1 pixel grayscale
2x2 pixels grayscale, font example, can encode letters
3x3 pixels: can create a font
4x4 pixels: how many variations
8x8 yotta yotta, many more variations
5x7 face recognition
12x16 activity recognition
6/5 (up to 124/106) pixels in height/width, and the average is 24/20 for QMUL SurvFace
(prepare a Progan render of the QMUL dataset and TinyFaces)
20x16 tiny faces paper
20x20 MNIST handwritten images http://yann.lecun.com/exdb/mnist/
24x24 haarcascade detector idealized images
32x32 CIFAR image dataset
40x40 can do emotion detection, face recognition at scale, 3d modeling of the face. include datasets with faces at this resolution including pedestrian.
NIST standards begin to appear from 40x40, distinguish occular pixels
need more material from 60-100
60x60 show how texture emerges and pupils, eye color, higher resolution of features and compare to lower resolution faces
100x100 all you need for medical diagnosis

NIST report on sres states several resolutions
"Results show that the tested face recognition systems yielded similar performance for query sets with eye-to-eye distance from 60 pixels to 30 pixels" ¹

"Note that we only keep the images with a minimal side length of 80 pixels." and "a face will be labeled as “Ignore” if it is very difficult to be detected due to blurring, severe deformation and unrecognizable eyes, or the side length of its bounding box is less than 32 pixels." Ge_Detecting_Masked_Faces_CVPR_2017_paper.pdf

Using no more than a 42 pixel (6x7 image) face image researchers [cite] were able to correctly distinguish between a group of 50 people. Yet

The likely outcome of face recognition research is that more data is needed to improve. Indeed, resolution is the determining factor for all biometric systems, both as training data to increase

Pixels, typically considered the buiding blocks of images and vidoes, can also be plotted as a graph of sensor values corresponding to the intensity of RGB-calibrated sensors.

Wi-Fi and cameras presents elevated risks for transmitting videos and image documentation from conflict zones, high-risk situations, or even sharing on social media. How can new developments in computer vision also be used in reverse, as a counter-forensic tool, to minimize an individual's privacy risk?

As the global Internet becomes increasingly effecient at turning the Internet into a giant dataset for machine learning, forensics, and data analysing, it would be prudent to also consider tools for decreasing the resolution. The Visual Defense module is just that. What are new ways to minimize the adverse effects of surveillance by dulling the blade. For example, a researcher paper showed that by decreasing a face size to 12x16 it was possible to do 98% accuracy with 50 people. This is clearly an example of

Notes

In China, out of the approximately 200 million surveillance cameras only about 15% have enough resolution for face recognition.
In Apple's FaceID security guide, the probability of someone else's face unlocking your phone is 1 out of 1,000,000.
In England, the Metropolitan Police reported a false-positive match rate of 98% when attempting to use face recognition to locate wanted criminals.
In a face recognition trial at Berlin's Sudkreuz station, the false-match rate was 20%.

What all 3 examples illustrate is that face recognition is anything but absolute. In a 2017 talk, Jason Matheny the former directory of IARPA, admitted the face recognition is so brittle it can be subverted by using a magic marker and drawing "a few dots on your forehead". In fact face recognition is a misleading term. Face recognition is search engine for faces that can only ever show you the mos likely match. This presents real a real threat to privacy and lends

About MegaPixels

MegaPixels is an independent art and research project by Adam Harvey and Jules LaPlace that investigates the ethics, origins, and individual privacy implications of face recognition image datasets and their role in the expansion of biometric surveillance technologies.

The MegaPixels site is made possible with support from Mozilla

asdf.us

The MegaPixels website is based on an earlier installation from 2017 and ongoing research and lectures (TedX, CPDP) about facial recognition datasets. Over the last several years this project has evolved into a large-scale interrogation of hundreds of publicly-available face and person analysis datasets.

MegaPixels aims to provide a critical perspective on machine learning image datsets, one that might otherwise escape academia and the industry funded artificial intelligence think tanks that are often supported by the same technology companies who have created many of the datasets presented on this site.

MegaPixels is an independent project, designed as a public resource for educators, students, journalists, and researchers. Each dataset presented on this site undergoes a thorough review of its images, intent, and funding sources. Though the goals are similar to publishing a public academic paper, MegaPixels is a website-first reserch project aligns closley with the goals of pre-print academic publications. As such we welcome feedback and ways to improve this site and the clarity of the research.

Because this project surfaces many funding issues with datasets (from datasets funded by the C.I.A. to the National Unviversity of Defense and Technology in China), it is important that we are transparent about own funding. The original MegaPixels installation in 2017 was built as a commission for and with support from Tactical Technology Collective and Mozilla. The bulk of the research and web-development during 2018 - 2018 was supported by a grant from Mozilla. Continued development in 2019 is partially supported by a 1-year Reseacher-in-Residence grant from Karlsruhe HfG, lecture and workshop fees, and from commissions and sales from the Privacy Gift Shop.

Please get in touch if you are interested in supporting this project.

The Asian Face Age Dataset (AFAD) is a new dataset proposed for evaluating the performance of age estimation, which contains more than 160K facial images and the corresponding age and gender labels. This dataset is oriented to age estimation on Asian faces, so all the facial images are for Asian faces. It is noted that the AFAD is the biggest dataset for age estimation to date. It is well suited to evaluate how deep learning methods can be adopted for age estimation. +Motivation
+
For age estimation, there are several public datasets for evaluating the performance of a specific algorithm, such as FG-NET [1] (1002 face images), MORPH I (1690 face images), and MORPH II[2] (55,608 face images). Among them, the MORPH II is the biggest public dataset to date. On the other hand, as we know it is necessary to collect a large scale dataset to train a deep Convolutional Neural Network. Therefore, the MORPH II dataset is extensively used to evaluate how deep learning methods can be adopted for age estimation [3][4].
+
However, the ethnic is very unbalanced for the MORPH II dataset, i.e., it has only less than 1% Asian faces. In order to evaluate the previous methods for age estimation on Asian Faces, the Asian Face Age Dataset (AFAD) was proposed.
+
There are 164,432 well-labeled photos in the AFAD dataset. It consist of 63,680 photos for female as well as 100,752 photos for male, and the ages range from 15 to 40. The distribution of photo counts for distinct ages are illustrated in the figure above. Some samples are shown in the Figure on the top. Its download link is provided in the "Download" section.
+
In addition, we also provide a subset of the AFAD dataset, called AFAD-Lite, which only contains PLACEHOLDER well-labeled photos. It consist of PLACEHOLDER photos for female as well as PLACEHOLDER photos for male, and the ages range from 15 to 40. The distribution of photo counts for distinct ages are illustrated in Fig. PLACEHOLDER. Its download link is also provided in the "Download" section.
+
The AFAD dataset is built by collecting selfie photos on a particular social network -- RenRen Social Network (RSN) [5]. The RSN is widely used by Asian students including middle school, high school, undergraduate, and graduate students. Even after leaving from school, some people still access their RSN account to connect with their old classmates. So, the age of the RSN user crosses a wide range from 15-years to more than 40-years old.
+
Please notice that this dataset is made available for academic research purpose only.

COFW is "is designed to benchmark face landmark algorithms in realistic conditions, which include heavy occlusions and large shape variations" [Robust face landmark estimation under occlusion].

We asked four people with different levels of computer vision knowledge to each collect 250 faces representative of typical real-world images, with the clear goal of challenging computer vision methods. +The result is 1,007 images of faces obtained from a variety of sources.
+

Robust face landmark estimation under occlusion

Our face dataset is designed to present faces in real-world conditions. Faces show large variations in shape and occlusions due to differences in pose, expression, use of accessories such as sunglasses and hats and interactions with objects (e.g. food, hands, microphones, etc.). All images were hand annotated in our lab using the same 29 landmarks as in LFPW. We annotated both the landmark positions as well as their occluded/unoccluded state. The faces are occluded to different degrees, with large variations in the type of occlusions encountered. COFW has an average occlusion of over 23%. +To increase the number of training images, and since COFW has the exact same landmarks as LFPW, for training we use the original non-augmented 845 LFPW faces + 500 COFW faces (1345 total), and for testing the remaining 507 COFW faces. To make sure all images had occlusion labels, we annotated occlusion on the available 845 LFPW training images, finding an average of only 2% occlusion.

Duke MTMC (Multi-Target, Multi-Camera Tracking) is a dataset of video recorded on Duke University campus for research and development of networked camera surveillance systems. MTMC tracking algorithms are used for citywide dragnet surveillance systems such as those used throughout China by SenseTime 1 and the oppressive monitoring of 2.5 million Uyghurs in Xinjiang by SenseNets 2. In fact researchers from both SenseTime 4 5 and SenseNets 3 used the Duke MTMC dataset for their research.

In this investigation into the Duke MTMC dataset, we found that researchers at Duke Univesity in Durham, North Carolina captured over 2,000 students, faculty members, and passersby into one of the most prolific public surveillance research datasets that's used around the world by commercial and defense surveillance organizations.

Since it's publication in 2016, the Duke MTMC dataset has been used in over 100 studies at organizations around the world including SenseTime 4 5, SenseNets 3, IARPA and IBM 9, Chinese National University of Defense 7 8, US Department of Homeland Security 10, Tencent, Microsoft, Microsft Asia, Fraunhofer, Senstar Corp., Alibaba, Naver Labs, Google and Hewlett-Packard Labs to name only a few.

The creation and publication of the Duke MTMC dataset in 2014 (published in 2016) was originally funded by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory and the National Science Foundation 6. Though our analysis of the geographic locations of the publicly available research shows over twice as many citations by researchers from China (44% China, 20% United States). In 2018 alone, there were 70 research project citations from China.

The 8 cameras deployed on Duke's campus were specifically setup to capture students "during periods between lectures, when pedestrian traffic is heavy". 6. Camera 5 was positioned to capture students as entering and exiting the university's main chapel. Each camera's location and approximate field of view. The heat map visualization shows the locations where pedestrians were most frequently annotated in each video from the Duke MTMC datset.

Funding

Original funding for the Duke MTMC dataset was provided by the Army Research Office under Grant No. W911NF-10-1-0387 and by the National Science Foundation +under Grants IIS-10-17017 and IIS-14-20894.

Video Timestamps

The video timestamps contain the likely, but not yet confirmed, date and times of capture. Because the video timestamps align with the start and stop time sync data provided by the researchers, it at least aligns the relative time. The rainy weather on that day also contribute towards the likelihood of March 14, 2014..

Opting Out

If you attended Duke University and were captured by any of the 8 surveillance cameras positioned on campus in 2014, there is unfortunately no way to be removed. The dataset files have been distributed throughout the world and it would not be possible to contact all the owners for removal. Nor do the authors provide any options for students to opt-out, nor did they even inform students they would be used at test subjects for surveillance research and development in a project funded, in part, by the United States Army Research Office.

Release 1 of LFPW consists of 1,432 faces from images downloaded from the web using simple text queries on sites such as google.com, flickr.com, and yahoo.com. Each image was labeled by three MTurk workers, and 29 fiducial points, shown below, are included in dataset. LFPW was originally described in the following publication:
+
Due to copyright issues, we cannot distribute image files in any format to anyone. Instead, we have made available a list of image URLs where you can download the images yourself. We realize that this makes it impossible to exactly compare numbers, as image links will slowly disappear over time, but we have no other option. This seems to be the way other large web-based databases seem to be evolving.

Facial recognition is a scam.

Committed to developing robust solutions with superhuman accuracy, the industry has repeatedly undermined itself by never actually developing anything close to "face recognition".

There is only biased feature vector clustering and probabilistic thresholding.

Motivation

+ + + + + +

Our relationship to computers has changed. Instead of programming them, we now show them and they figure it out. - Geoffrey Hinton
+

Algorithms learn from datasets. And we program algorithms by building datasets. But datasets aren't like code. There's no programming language made of data except for the data itself.

High resolution insights from low resolution data

This post will be about the meaning of "face". How do people define it? How to biometrics researchers define it? How has it changed during the last decade.

What can you know from a very small amount of information?

1 pixel grayscale
2x2 pixels grayscale, font example, can encode letters
3x3 pixels: can create a font
4x4 pixels: how many variations
8x8 yotta yotta, many more variations
5x7 face recognition
12x16 activity recognition
6/5 (up to 124/106) pixels in height/width, and the average is 24/20 for QMUL SurvFace
(prepare a Progan render of the QMUL dataset and TinyFaces)
20x16 tiny faces paper
20x20 MNIST handwritten images http://yann.lecun.com/exdb/mnist/
24x24 haarcascade detector idealized images
32x32 CIFAR image dataset
40x40 can do emotion detection, face recognition at scale, 3d modeling of the face. include datasets with faces at this resolution including pedestrian.
NIST standards begin to appear from 40x40, distinguish occular pixels
need more material from 60-100
60x60 show how texture emerges and pupils, eye color, higher resolution of features and compare to lower resolution faces
100x100 all you need for medical diagnosis
100x100 0.5% of one Instagram photo

Ideas:

Find specific cases of facial resolution being used in legal cases, forensic investigations, or military footage
resolution of boston bomber face
resolution of the state of the union image

Research

NIST report on sres states several resolutions
"Results show that the tested face recognition systems yielded similar performance for query sets with eye-to-eye distance from 60 pixels to 30 pixels" ¹

"Note that we only keep the images with a minimal side length of 80 pixels." and "a face will be labeled as “Ignore” if it is very difficult to be detected due to blurring, severe deformation and unrecognizable eyes, or the side length of its bounding box is less than 32 pixels." Ge_Detecting_Masked_Faces_CVPR_2017_paper.pdf
IBM DiF: "Faces with region size less than 50x50 or inter-ocular distance of less than 30 pixels were discarded. Faces with non-frontal pose, or anything beyond being slightly tilted to the left or the right, were also discarded."

As the resolution +formatted as rectangular databases of 16 bit RGB-tuples or 8 bit grayscale values

To consider how visual privacy applies to real world surveillance situations, the first

A single 8-bit grayscale pixel with 256 values is enough to represent the entire alphabet a-Z0-9 with room to spare.

A 2x2 pixels contains

Using no more than a 42 pixel (6x7 image) face image researchers [cite] were able to correctly distinguish between a group of 50 people. Yet

The likely outcome of face recognition research is that more data is needed to improve. Indeed, resolution is the determining factor for all biometric systems, both as training data to increase

Pixels, typically considered the buiding blocks of images and vidoes, can also be plotted as a graph of sensor values corresponding to the intensity of RGB-calibrated sensors.

This research module, tentatively called Visual Defense Tools, aims to explore the

Notes

In China, out of the approximately 200 million surveillance cameras only about 15% have enough resolution for face recognition.
In Apple's FaceID security guide, the probability of someone else's face unlocking your phone is 1 out of 1,000,000.
In England, the Metropolitan Police reported a false-positive match rate of 98% when attempting to use face recognition to locate wanted criminals.
In a face recognition trial at Berlin's Sudkreuz station, the false-match rate was 20%.
