The faces dataset

Let's now look at the faces dataset that we will be using for this project. There are numerous publicly available faces dataset for use, as consolidated at http://www.face-rec.org/databases/.

While there are many face datasets that we can use, the most appropriate dataset for training a facial recognition system should contain photos of different subjects, with each subject having multiple photos taken from different angles. It should also ideally contain photos of the subject wearing different expressions (eyes closed and so on), as such photos are commonly encountered by facial recognition systems.

With these considerations in mind, the dataset that we have chosen is the Database of Faces, created by AT&T Laboratories, Cambridge. The database contains photos of 40 subjects, with 10 photos of each subject. The photos of each subject were taken under...
