Cross-Pose LFW
A renovation of Labeled Faces in the Wild (LFW), the de facto standard testbed for unconstraint face verification.
There are three motivations behind the construction of CPLFW benchmark as follows:
1.Establishing a relatively more difficult database to evaluate the performance of real world face verification so the effectiveness of several face verification methods can be fully justified.
2.Continuing the intensive research on LFW with more realistic consideration on pose intra-class variation and fostering the research on cross-pose face verification in unconstrained situation. The challenge of CPLFW emphasizes pose difference to further enlarge intra-class variance. Also, negative pairs are deliberately selected to avoid different gender or race. CPLFW considers both the large intra-class variance and the tiny inter-class variance simultaneously.
3.Maintaining the data size, the face verification protocol which provides a 'same/different' benchmark and the same identities in LFW, so one can easily apply CPLFW to evaluate the performance of face verification.
