T-FAKE: Synthesizing Thermal Images for Facial Landmarking

Downloading the dataset

To download the color images, sparse annotations, and segmentation masks for the dataset, please use the links in the FaceSynthetics repository.

Our dataset has been generated for a warm and for a cold condition. Each dataset can be downloaded separately as

• A small sample with 100 images from here warm and here cold
• A medium sample with 1,000 images from here warm and here cold
• The full dataset with 100,000 images from here warm and here cold
• The dense annotations are available from here

Using the landmarker

Coming soon.

Pre-trained models

The models for the thermalization as well as the landmarkers can be downloaded from here.
