About This OTS Dataset

Introduction

Welcome to the Hispanic Child Faces Dataset, meticulously curated to enhance face recognition models and support the development of advanced biometric identification systems, child identification models, and other facial recognition technologies.

Facial Image Data

This dataset comprises over 3,000 child image sets, divided into participant-wise sets with each set including:

•

Facial Images: 15 different high-quality images per child.

Diversity and Representation

The dataset includes contributions from a diverse network of children across Hispanic countries:

•

Geographical Representation: Participants from Hispanic countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, and more.

•

Demographics: Participants are children under the age of 18, representing both males and females.

•

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

•Participant Identifier

•File Name

•Age

•Gender

•Country

•Demographic Information
