SF-TL54: A Thermal Facial Landmark Dataset with Visual Pairs

In this work, we present a thermal face dataset with manually annotated bounding boxes and facial landmarks. The dataset was constructed using our large-scale SpeakingFaces dataset (https://issai.nu.edu.kz/speaking-faces/). In total, the dataset contains 2,556 thermal-visual image pairs of 142 subjects, where each subject has 18 thermal-visual image pairs (2 trial x 9 positions). The dataset, annotations, source code, and pre-trained thermal face detection and facial landmark prediction models are publicly available to advance research in thermal face analysis.

The landmarks have the following order:

There are many potential applications, including, but not limited to:

• Thermal face detection and facial landmark prediction.
• Thermal face alignment for face recognition.
• Face recognition in poorly illuminated environments.
• Face anti-spoofing.
• Thermal-visual face image translation.
