# 📸 Face Recognition Dataset (105 Classes)

A curated and cleaned celebrity face dataset used for training and evaluating:

- **Face Recognition Model (CNN Embeddings + SVM)**
- **Face Recognition Demo App (Streamlit)**

This dataset contains **105 identities** and **~18,000 manually organized images**, formatted for deep-learning–based face recognition pipelines.

---

## 📁 Dataset Structure

The dataset follows a simple folder-based classification format:

```
face_recognition_dataset/
  ├── person_1/
  ├── person_2/
  ├── ...
  └── person_105/
```

Each folder contains multiple face images for that identity.  
This structure is compatible with most ML frameworks and embedding-based models.

---

## 📦 Contents

- **18k+ images**
- **105 celebrity identities**
- Cleaned, resized, organized folder structure
- Suitable for:
  - Embedding extraction (FaceNet, ArcFace, etc.)
  - Classification (SVM, kNN, cosine similarity)
  - Clustering
  - Evaluation & benchmarking
