Face Recognition - Sample Image dataset

Here are some face data sets often used by researchers:

The Color FERET Database, USA
The FERET program set out to establish a large database of facial images that was gathered independently from the algorithm developers. Dr. Harry Wechsler at George Mason University was selected to direct the collection of this database.

SCface is a database of static images of human faces. Images were taken in uncontrolled indoor environment using five video surveillance cameras of various qualities. Database contains 4160 static images (in visible and infrared spectrum) of 130 subjects.

A close relationship exists between the advancement of face recognition algorithms and the availability of face databases varying factors that affect facial appearance in a controlled manner. The PIE database, collected at Carnegie Mellon University in 2000, has been very influential in advancing research in face recognition across pose and illumination.

The Yale Face Database
Contains 165 grayscale images in GIF format of 15 individuals. There are 11 images per subject, one per different facial expression or configuration: center-light, w/glasses, happy, left-light, w/no glasses, normal, right-light, sad, sleepy, surprised, and wink.

The Yale Face Database B
Contains 5760 single light source images of 10 subjects each seen under 576 viewing conditions (9 poses x 64 illumination conditions). For every subject in a particular pose, an image with ambient (background) illumination was also captured.

PIE Database, CMU
A database of 41,368 images of 68 people, each person under 13 different poses, 43 different illumination conditions, and with 4 different expressions.

Project - Face In Action (FIA) Face Video Database, AMP, CMU
Capturing scenario mimics the real world applications, for example, when a person is going through the airport check-in point. Six cameras capture human faces from three different angles. Three out of the six cameras have smaller focus length, and the other three have larger focus length. 

AT&T "The Database of Faces" (formerly "The ORL Database of Faces")
Ten different images of each of 40 distinct subjects. For some subjects, the images were taken at different times, varying the lighting, facial expressions (open / closed eyes, smiling / not smiling) and facial details (glasses / no glasses). 

Subjects in the released portion of the Cohn-Kanade AU-Coded Facial Expression Database are 100 university students.
The MIT-CBCL face recognition database contains face images of 10 subjects. It provides two training sets: 1. High resolution pictures, including frontal, half-profile and profile view; 2. Synthetic images (324/subject) rendered from 3D head models of the 10 subjects.
Image Database of Facial Actions and Expressions - Expression Image Database
24 subjects are represented in this database, yielding between about 6 to 18 examples of the 150 different requested actions. Thus, about 7,000 color images are included in the database, and each has a matching gray scale image used in the neural network analysis.
395 individuals (male and female), 20 images per individual. Contains images of people of various racial origins, mainly of first year undergraduate students, so the majority of indivuals are between 18-20 years old but some older individuals are also present. Some individuals are wearing glasses and beards.
There are images of 1573 individuals (cases) 1495 male and 78 female.

NLPR Face Database
450 face images. 896 x 592 pixels. JPEG format. 27 or so unique people under with different lighting/expressions/backgrounds.
Database is made up from 37 different faces and provides 5 shots for each person.
Contains four recordings of 295 subjects taken over a period of four months.
4,000 color images corresponding to 126 people's faces (70 men and 56 women). Images feature frontal view faces with different facial expressions, illumination conditions, and occlusions (sun glasses and scarf).
Contains 125 different faces each in 16 different camera calibration and illumination condition, an additional 16 if the person has glasses.
The CAS-PEAL face database has been constructed under the sponsors of National Hi-Tech Program and ISVISION.
The database contains 213 images of 7 facial expressions (6 basic facial expressions + 1 neutral) posed by 10 Japanese female models. Each image has been rated on 6 emotion adjectives by 60 Japanese subjects.
The dataset consists of 1521 gray level images with a resolution of 384x286 pixel. Each one shows the frontal view of a face of one out of 23 different test persons. For comparison reasons the set also contains manually set eye postions.
This is a collection of images useful for research in Psychology, such as sets of faces and objects. The images in the database are organised into SETS, with each set often representing a separate experimental study.
Consists of 564 images of 20 people. Each covering a range of poses from profile to frontal views.
This database contains short video sequences of facial Action Units recorded simultaneously from six different viewpoints, recorded in 2003 at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics.

450 face images. 896 x 592 pixels. JPEG format. 27 or so unique people under with different lighting/expressions/backgrounds.
Human identification from facial features has been studied primarily using imagery from visible video cameras. Thermal imaging sensors are one of the most innovative emerging techonologies in the market.
With the aim to facilitate the development of robust audio, face, and multi-modal person recognition systems, the large and realistic multi-modal (audio-visual) VALID database was acquired in a noisy "real world" office scenario with no control on illumination or acoustic noise.
The database has two parts. Part one contains colour pictures of faces having a high degree of variability in scale, location, orientation, pose, facial expression and lighting conditions, while part two has manually segmented results for each of the images in part one of the database.
The database contains images of 50 people and is stored in JPEG format. For each individual, there are 15 color images captured between 06/01/99 and 11/15/99.
The database contains a set of face images taken in February, 2002 in the IIT Kanpur campus. There are eleven different images of each of 40 distinct subjects.
The VidTIMIT database is comprised of video and corresponding audio recordings of 43 people, reciting short sentences. It can be useful for research on topics such as multi-view face recognition, automatic lip reading and multi-modal speech recognition.
LFWcrop is a cropped version of the Labeled Faces in the Wild (LFW) dataset, keeping only the center portion of each image (i.e. the face).
The 3D_RMA database is a collection of two sessions (Nov 1997 and Jan 1998) consisting of 120 persons. For each session, three shots were recorded with different (but limited) orientations of the head.
GavabDB is a 3D face database. It contains 549 three-dimensional images of facial surfaces. These meshes correspond to 61 different individuals (45 male and 16 female) having 9 images for each person.
This database is formed by up to 109 subjects (75 men and 34 women), with 32 colour images per person. Each picture has a 320 x 240 pixel resolution, with the face occupying most of the image in an upright position.
This database contains 106 subjects, with approximately one woman every three men.
The BJUT-3D is a three dimension face database including 500 Chinese persons. There are 250 females and 250 males in the database.
The Bosphorus Database is a new 3D face database that includes a rich set of expressions, systematic variation of poses and different types of occlusions.
