A New Face Database of Asian Faces with Multiple Angles and Lighting Variations

With the rapid development of face recognition technology, the demand for face databases in constructing various face-related models is increasing, along with higher requirements for database completeness and quality. However, the number of available databases containing Asian faces is limited, and the proportion of Asian faces in these databases is generally low. This situation somewhat restricts the accuracy of various models in applications involving Asian face recognition. Therefore, this paper proposes a face database specifically designed for the Asian face recognition. To achieve this goal, this paper meticulously setup shooting scenarios and recruited enough volunteers to participate in face image collection. Therefore, this paper collects successfully a new database that covers multiple angles and combinations of lighting variations of Asian faces. Experimental results show the potential of this database in Asian face recognition.
