Caricature is a pictorial representation or description that deliberately exaggerates a person’s distinctive features or peculiarities to create an easily identifiable visual likeness with a comic effect. This vivid art form contains the concepts of abstraction, simplification and exaggeration.
Aims to facilitate research in caricature recognition. All the caricatures and face images were collected from the Web. Compared with two existing datasets, this dataset is much more challenging, with a much greater number of available images, artistic styles and larger intra-personal variations.
