Photo/Video
Editing & Sharing Applications

With Instagram, Snap, and TikTok upping the filter and effects game, the bar is as high as ever for photo and video apps. Keep the fun going on your app by making sure your machine vision models are on the leading edge with our pre-made, easy to use datasets.

Portrait Segmentation & Matting
Quality photo & video transformation often starts with accurate background removal with anti-aliasing. To develop better models for this task, a broader set of people, hair, accompanying objects, and backgrounds are needed which the datasets below provide.
Essentials Dataset
Bootstrap your model with this foundation
Inclusivity Dataset
With even genders, ages, and skin tones
Harsh Lighting Dataset
Handle edge cases in bright and dark light
Programmatic API
Fully customizable data for augmentation
The essentials dataset is an extremely well-rounded variety of identities and environments to start up and augment your existing models.
View Dataset
The inclusivity dataset showcases traditionally under-represented groups to ensure that your application is as unbiased as possible.
View Dataset
The harsh lightning dataset lets you handle your poor lighting edge-cases with glare, spotlights, night time, and backlit images.

Landmark & Facial
Feature Estimation
See things through their eyes by implementing gaze detection. Understanding gaze lets your application gauge attentiveness levels as well as deduce spatial relationships between important objects in meetings. Gaze correction to adjust for camera offsets also helps meetings feel more natural and connected.
Landmarks Dataset
Maximum expressions and camera angles
Essentials Dataset
Bootstrap your model with this foundation
Inclusivity Dataset
Reduce bias with a variety of eye colors
Programmatic API
Fully customizable data for augmentation
Crafted with facial landmarks in 3D across the spectrum of facial expressions, you’ll have the data your application needs.

100x Cheaper.
1000x Faster Turnaround.

The average amount spent on single image for full-segmentation is $6.40* – any additional labels cost more above and beyond that. Our synthetic data provides full-segmentation, landmarks, surface normals, and more – for as little as $0.03 per image.

Of course, that’s only the labeling cost. Procuring the images to label is incredibly time-consuming as well. It can take weeks or months to legally collect diverse images of individuals’ faces for most companies. Our datasets are available immediately, and our programmatic API returns generated images and labels in minutes to hours.

Better. Stronger.
Not only do our datasets provide training data affordably and nearly instantaneously, they do so much more than human-collected & labeled data. So you can build more advanced, more ethical computer vision models.
Pixel-Perfect Accuracy
100% accurate ground truth–every time. Eliminate your QA step on every label.
Privacy-First
Get peace of mind: with non-real humans, privacy concerns are history.
Less Bias
Even sampling across skin tones, ethnicities, and ages, for more ethical machine vision.
New Label Types
Use cutting edge models with depth, normals, dense 3D landmarks, & subsegmentation.
Broader Distributions
Combine identities, hair styles, facial hair, makeup, hats, glasses, face masks, lighting conditions, and camera angles for trillions of possibilities – all at the speed of writing JSON with our API.

Domain Adapt
As with all synthetic data, there’s a shift from our domain to the one captured by real cameras. Although there’s no universal domain adaptation approach for every use-case, we stand on the shoulders of giants to get great results.
Adaptive Batch Normalization
Adaptive Batch Normalization is a simple technique, can be easily applied to any network with batch normalization layers, and combined with all other techniques for surprisingly good results.

Adversarial Domain Adaptation
Adversarial domain adaptation and its modifications for particular tasks usually result in strong improvement. The downside is that it typically requires heavy pipeline modifications.

Refinement
Image-2-image translation methods coupled with self-regularization loss allows dataset-level refinement. While these methods require additional pipeline to train, it is completely independent and does not require modifications of the main training pipeline.
Contrastive Learning for Unpaired Image-to-Image Translation. Unpaired Image-to-Image Translation using Cycle-Consistent Adversarial Networks. Learning from Simulated and Unsupervised Images through Adversarial Training. Contrastive unpaired image-to-image translation, faster and lighter training than cyclegan (ECCV 2020, in PyTorch).
Combined methods
For the best results all the methods above typically should be combined together.
