Dataset

Figaro-1k: It contains 1050 unconstrained view images with persons, subdivided into seven different hairstyles classes (straight, wavy, curly, kinky, braids, dreadlocks, short), where each image is provided with the related manually segmented hair mask.
The 7 classes are distributed in this order:

• straight: frame00001-00150
• wavy: frame00151-00300
• curly: frame00301-00450
• kinky: frame00451-00600
• braids: frame00601-00750
• dreadlocks: frame00751-00900
• short-men: frame00091-01050

Demo

You can run the demo on any jpg format image (that must be placed in folder Data) by running main.py file.
N.B. you need to download model_caffenet.caffemodel and place it in Tools/CaffeNet/.
