Stanford University Brainwash cafe facial recognition dataset

Brainwash is a dataset of 11,917 images of 91,146 'labelled' people created by then Stanford University researchers Stewart Russell, Mykhaylo Andriluka, and Andrew Ng.

Video footage was recorded of San Francisco's Brainwash Cafe custimers over three days in October and November 2014. The dataset was released in 2015. The principal aim of the dataset was to help create facal recognition algorithms.

Brainwash has been cited by high-profile organisations across the world, including by researchers affiliated with China's National University of Defense Technology for two research projects on advancing object recognition capabilities.
