INTRODUCTION
The M2FPA dataset is constructed by Center for Research on Intelligent Perception and Computing (CRIPAC), National Laboratory of Pattern Recognition (NLPR), Institute of Automation, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASIA). The M2FPA dataset totally involves 397,544 images of 229 subjects with 62 poses (including 13 yaw angles, 5 pitch angles and 44 yaw-pitch angles), 4 attributes and 7 illuminations.

CONTENT
By now, we provide the cropped 512*512 images, the ID annotations, the training/testing lists and the testing protocol. In the main folder, we have totally 229 subfolders, each of which contains all images belong to the same subject. Taking the subfolder 0001 as an example, the document tree is listed as follows:
Taking above2-1.jpg as an example, “above” represents illustration position, “2-1” represents the camera number. The detailed relationships between the camera number and face pose are shown in Table 2.

For testing, we have one gallery list “gallery0.txt” and 30 probe lists “probe_xx_xx.txt”. The gallery list contains the 67 gallery images with frontal view, neutral attribute and above illumination. The probe lists contain all the profile faces with various pitch and yaw poses. Finally, we will update the original 1960x1080 images with five facial landmark annotations in the future.
