Paludata - 170,993 different still images of Rasmus Paludan

This dataset contains 170,993 different still images of well known Danish far-right political figure Rasmus Paludan.

All public video content was downloaded from YouTube channels "Strams Kurs" and "Frihedens Stemme", and facial recognition software was used to detect the face of Rasmus Paludan, based on a small set of reference images collected from various media outlets, and extract all recognised faces frame by frame.

The resulting images are 512 x 512 px and facial rotation has been aligned.
Naming convention: x-y.jpg (x = number of matching reference images. y = unique identifier)

The dataset will be of interest to people working in the fields of computer vision, facial recognition, facial video forgery etc.
