NIST develops dataset of synthetically masked faces to test facial recognition algorithms

Examples
Date

In a planned study, NIST will apply synthetic masks to faces digitally in order to leverage its large datasets (18 million images of 8 million people) in order to test how well verification algorithms handle masks. The study will reopen on June 24, 2020.
