WFLW (Wider Facial Landmarks in the Wild)

Introduced by Wayne Wu et al. in Look at Boundary: A Boundary-Aware Face Alignment Algorithm1 Jan 2018 archive 2025-07-28

The Wider Facial Landmarks in the Wild or WFLW database contains 10000 faces (7500 for training and 2500 for testing) with 98 annotated landmarks. This database also features rich attribute annotations in terms of occlusion, head pose, make-up, illumination, blur and expressions.

30 shown of 42 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 108. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
