The report is saved in an iPython Notebook format. To review it click on the Makeup_CNN_final.ipynb file.

If you want to run the code in your computer you will need to follow the Install and Run instructions.

Data

The VMU dataset was assembled by synthetically adding makeup to 51 female Caucasian subjects in the FRGC dataset. For the training of our network we used pairs of the original images and the same images with lipstick. The dataset can become available upon contacting Antitza Dantcheva. More information can be found on her personal webpage.
