In this chapter, we will be using the Wiki-Cropped dataset, which contains more than 64, 328 images of various people's faces. The authors have also made a dataset available that contains only the cropped faces, so we don't need to crop faces.
The authors of the paper titled Deep expectation of real and apparent age from a single image without facial landmarks, which is available at https://www.vision.ee.ethz.ch/en/publications/papers/articles/eth_biwi_01299.pdf, have scraped these images from Wikipedia and made them available for academic purposes. If you intend to use the dataset for commercial purposes, contact the authors at [email protected].
You can manually download the dataset from the following link and place all the compressed files in the directory inside the Age-cGAN project at https://data.vision.ee.ethz.ch/cvl/rrothe/imdb-wiki...
