IJB-A (IARPA Janus Benchmark A)

Introduced by Brendan F. Klare et al. in Pushing the Frontiers of Unconstrained Face Detection and Recognition: IARPA Janus Benchmark A1 Jan 2015 archive 2025-07-28

The IARPA Janus Benchmark A (IJB-A) database is developed with the aim to augment more challenges to the face recognition task by collecting facial images with a wide variations in pose, illumination, expression, resolution and occlusion. IJB-A is constructed by collecting 5,712 images and 2,085 videos from 500 identities, with an average of 11.4 images and 4.2 videos per identity.

17 shown of 17 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 156. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
