Things I used to download and prepare dataset for experiments:
- aria2 download utility. You can download all prepared links from here. To download dataset simply type
aria2c -i vgg-faces-aria.txt --deferred-input -j 60
. It took approximatly 1.5 days and 100GB of space. - Python 2.7.11 with
pillow
module for image processing. You can crop all downloaded images withpython2 prepare.py
command.
Check dataset's page for more information.
