| # Laion-Face | |
| [LAION-Face](https://github.com/FacePerceiver/LAION-Face) is the human face subset of [LAION-400M](https://laion.ai/laion-400-open-dataset/), it consists of 50 million image-text pairs. Face detection is conducted to find images with faces. Apart from the 50 million full-set(LAION-Face 50M), there is a 20 million sub-set(LAION-Face 20M) for fast evaluation. | |
| LAION-Face is first used as the training set of [FaRL](https://github.com/FacePerceiver/FaRL), which provides powerful pre-training transformer backbones for face analysis tasks. | |

| ## Download and convert metadata | |
| ```bash | |
| wget -l1 -r --no-parent https://the-eye.eu/public/AI/cah/laion400m-met-release/laion400m-meta/ | |
| mv the-eye.eu/public/AI/cah/laion400m-met-release/laion400m-meta/ . | |
| wget https://huggingface.co/datasets/FacePerceiver/laion-face/resolve/main/laion_face_ids.pth | |
| wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FacePerceiver/LAION-Face/master/convert_parquet.py | |
| python convert_parquet.py ./laion_face_ids.pth ./laion400m-meta ./laion_face_meta | |
| ``` | |
| ## Download the images with img2dataset | |
| When metadata is ready, you can start download the images. | |
| ```bash | |
| wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FacePerceiver/LAION-Face/master/download.sh | |
| bash download.sh ./laion_face_meta ./laion_face_data | |
| ``` | |
| Please be patient, this command might run over days, and cost about 2T disk space, and it will download 50 million image-text pairs as 32 parts. | |
| - To use the **LAION-Face 50M**, you should use all the 32 parts. | |
| - To use the **LAION-Face 20M**, you should use these parts. | |
| ``` | |
| 0,2,5,8,13,15,17,18,21,22,24,25,28 | |
| ``` | |
| checkout `download.sh` and [img2dataset](https://github.com/rom1504/img2dataset) for more details and parameter setting. | |
