Masked faces in real world for face recognition (MFR2) is a small dataset with 53 identities of celebrities and politicians with a total of 269 images that are collected from the internet. Each identity has on average of 5 images. The dataset contains both masked and unmasked faces of the identities. The dataset is processed in terms of face alignment and image dimensions. Each image has a dimension of (160x160x3). Sample images from the MFR2 data-set and the mask distribution can be seen below. In the future we plan on expanding this dataset to contain more indetities and images.
