FLIC (Frames Labelled in Cinema)

Introduced by Ben Sapp et al. in MODEC: Multimodal Decomposable Models for Human Pose Estimation1 Jan 2013 archive 2025-07-28

The FLIC dataset contains 5003 images from popular Hollywood movies. The images were obtained by running a state-of-the-art person detector on every tenth frame of 30 movies. People detected with high confidence (roughly 20K candidates) were then sent to the crowdsourcing marketplace Amazon Mechanical Turk to obtain ground truth labelling. Each image was annotated by five Turkers to label 10 upper body joints. The median-of-five labelling was taken in each image to be robust to outlier annotation. Finally, images were rejected manually by if the person was occluded or severely non-frontal.

Papers archive 2025-07-28

2 shown of 2 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 46. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
