FDDB (Face Detection Dataset and Benchmark)

Introduced in Fddb: A benchmark for face detection in unconstrained settings archive 2025-07-28

The Face Detection Dataset and Benchmark (FDDB) dataset is a collection of labeled faces from Faces in the Wild dataset. It contains a total of 5171 face annotations, where images are also of various resolution, e.g. 363x450 and 229x410. The dataset incorporates a range of challenges, including difficult pose angles, out-of-focus faces and low resolution. Both greyscale and color images are included.

11 shown of 11 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 165. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
