Introduced in Real Time Head Pose Estimation from Consumer Depth Cameras1 Jan 2011 archive 2025-07-28

The dataset contains over 15K images of 20 people (6 females and 14 males - 4 people were recorded twice). For each frame, a depth image, the corresponding rgb image (both 640x480 pixels), and the annotation is provided. The head pose range covers about +-75 degrees yaw and +-60 degrees pitch. Ground truth is provided in the form of the 3D location of the head and its rotation.

23 shown of 23 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 44. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
