About This OTS Dataset

Introduction

Welcome to the Native American Facial Images from Past Dataset, meticulously curated to enhance face recognition models and support the development of advanced biometric identification systems, KYC models, and other facial recognition technologies.

Facial Image Data

This dataset comprises over 5,000+ images, divided into participant-wise sets with each set including:

•

Historical Images: 22 different high-quality historical images per individual from the timeline of 10 years.

•

Enrollment Image: One modern high-quality image for reference.

Diversity and Representation

The dataset includes contributions from a diverse network of individuals across Native American countries:

•

Geographical Representation: Participants from countries including USA, Canada, Mexico and more.

•

Demographics: Participants range from 18 to 70 years old, representing both males and females in 60:40 ratio, respectively.

•

File Format: The dataset contains images in JPEG and HEIC file format.

Quality and Conditions

To ensure high utility and robustness, all images are captured under varying conditions:

•

Lighting Conditions: Images are taken in different lighting environments to ensure variability and realism.

•

Backgrounds: A variety of backgrounds are available to enhance model generalization.

•

Device Quality: Photos are taken using the latest mobile devices to ensure high resolution and clarity.

Metadata

Each image set is accompanied by detailed metadata for each participant, including:

•Participant Identifier

•File Name

•Age at the time of capture
