Introduction

In order to promote the research of caricature attribute recognition, we construct a face attribute dataset, namely WebCariA, by labeling all images in the WebCaricature dataset. The dataset contains 6024 caricatures and 5974 photos of 252 people. Each image is labeled more than three times with 50 attributes of intrinsic face characters, and the final labels are determined by a voting strategy.

Specifically, to help understand the intrinsic facial characteristics that are felt by human, we did not label the attributes that are changeable, such as 'WearingJewelry', 'WearingHats', etc. Instead, we labeled purely the facial attributes that can reflect the intrinsic characteristics of the faces such as 'BigNose', 'Bald', etc.

Sample Images

The first three column are photos with the attribute and the next three columns are caricatures with that attribute.
