## **Female-Face-Depth-3D**

**Female-Face-Depth-3D** is a high-quality dataset designed for **female face depth estimation and 3D face reconstruction**. The dataset contains paired RGB face images, dense facial depth maps, and corresponding 3D meshes in GLB format, making it suitable for training and evaluating modern computer vision and image-to-3D models. Every sample provides a direct correspondence between a facial photograph, its reconstructed depth representation, and an associated 3D mesh, enabling end-to-end learning for geometry-aware tasks. The dataset is intended for research and development involving monocular depth estimation, neural rendering, facial geometry prediction, 3D reconstruction, synthetic data generation, and multimodal vision systems. It is distributed in the Hugging Face Datasets format using optimized Parquet files for efficient loading while the associated GLB meshes can be downloaded individually when needed.

## Dataset Statistics

| Property | Value |
|-----------|-------|
| Number of Samples | 3,860 |
| Image Format | RGB |
| 3D Mesh Format | GLB |
| Dataset Format | Optimized Parquet |

## Dataset Structure

Each sample contains three fields:

| Column | Type | Description |
|---------|------|-------------|
| `image` | Image | Original RGB face image |
| `output_mask` | Image | Dense facial depth map |
| `glb_3d_file` | String | Filename of the corresponding GLB mesh |

Example:

```python
sample = ds[0]

print(sample.keys())

# dict_keys([
#     "image",
#     "output_mask",
#     "glb_3d_file"
# ])
```

## Loading the Dataset

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset(
    "prithivMLmods/Female-Face-Depth-3D",
    split="train"
)
```

## Example Usage

```python
from datasets import load_dataset
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

ds = load_dataset("prithivMLmods/Female-Face-Depth-3D", split="train")

sample = ds[0]

image = sample["image"]
mask = sample["output_mask"]
glb_name = sample["glb_3d_file"]

print("GLB filename:", glb_name)

fig, axes = plt.subplots(1, 2, figsize=(10, 5))

axes[0].imshow(image)
axes[0].set_title("Image")
axes[0].axis("off")

axes[1].imshow(mask)
axes[1].set_title("Output Depth Map")
axes[1].axis("off")

plt.show()

glb_path = hf_hub_download(
    repo_id="prithivMLmods/Female-Face-Depth-3D",
    filename=glb_name,
    repo_type="dataset",
)

print("Downloaded mesh to:", glb_path)
```

## Downloading the 3D Mesh

The `glb_3d_file` field stores the filename of the corresponding 3D reconstruction. The mesh can be downloaded directly from the dataset repository using `hf_hub_download`.

```python
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download

mesh_path = hf_hub_download(
    repo_id="prithivMLmods/Female-Face-Depth-3D",
    filename=sample["glb_3d_file"],
    repo_type="dataset",
)

print(mesh_path)
```

The downloaded GLB file can be viewed or processed using software such as Blender, MeshLab, Three.js, Unity, Unreal Engine, or any application that supports the GLB format.

## Dataset Features

- High-quality female face RGB images
