Comparison of facial image datasets
Appearance
In computer vision, facial images have been used extensively to develop facial recognition systems, face detection, and many other projects that use facial images. This article compares various 3D facial datasets.

It is important to note that, there is a related list of 2D and 3D face databases continuously updated and available at www.face-rec.org/. This page, maintained by M. Grgic and K. Delac, serves as a starting point for researchers in the exploration of knowledge about human faces through computational methods.
