Hand Datasets
11k Dataset
The 11k Hands dataset is a collection of 11,076 hand images (1600 x 1200 pixels) of 190 subjects, of varying ages between 18 – 75 years old. Each subject was asked to open and close his fingers of the right and left hands. Each hand was photographed from both dorsal and palmar sides with a uniform white background and placed approximately in the same distance from the camera. There is a record of metadata associated with each image which includes: (1) the subject ID, (2) gender, (3) age, (4) skin color, and (5) a set of information of the captured hand, i.e. right- or left-hand, hand side (dorsal or palmar), and logical indicators referring to whether the hand image contains accessories, nail polish, or irregularities.
PolyU Hand Dorsal Dataset
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University Contactless Hand Dorsal Images Database is contributed from the male and female volunteers, largely acquired at the IIT Delhi Campus, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University campus and in some villages in India during 2006-2015, mostly by using a mobile and hand held camera. This database has 2505 hand dorsal images from the right hand of 501 different subjects. All images are in bitmap (*.bmp) format.
