The HELEN* dataset is a rectified version of the original HELEN dataset.

You could download the dataset using ( Google Drive | Baidu Drive | Dropbox )

File structure:

train/ # the training set
    xxx_image.jpg # the face image
    xxx_label.png # the mask annotations
    xxx_viz.jpg   # annotation visualization
test/ # the testing set (in original size)
    ...
test_resize/ # the testing set (resized)
    ...

All images in train/ come from the original HELEN. We relabeled the hair and facial skin regions in train/. Annotations in test/ also come from the original HELEN. While annotations in test_resize/ comply with the resized HELEN.

Mask annotation can be loaded by

import cv2
labels = cv2.imread('xxx_label.png', cv2.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE)

Meaning of annotation values:

0: background
1: facial skin
2: left brow (viewer side)
3: right brow
4: left eye
5: right eye
6: nose
