IUST_PersonReID

The IUST_PersonReID dataset was developed to address limitations in existing person re-identification datasets by including cultural and environmental contexts unique to Islamic countries, especially Iran and Iraq. Unlike common datasets, which don’t reflect the clothing styles common in these regions—such as hijabs and other coverings—the IUST_PersonReID dataset represents this diversity, helping to reduce demographic bias and improve model accuracy. Collected from various real-world settings under different lighting, camera angles, indoor & outdoor, and weather conditions, this dataset provides extensive, overlapping views across multiple cameras. By capturing these unique conditions, IUST_PersonReID offers a valuable resource for developing re-ID models that perform more reliably across diverse environments and populations.
