“Anime Crop Datasets: Faces, Figures, & Hands § Hands”, Gwern, Arfafax, Shawn Presser, Anonymous, Danbooru Community2020-05-10 (Danbooru AI, ML dataset)⁠:

Description of 3 anime datasets for machine learning based on Danbooru: cropped anime faces, whole-single-character crops, and hand crops (with hand detection model).

We create & release PALM: the PALM Anime Locator Model. PALM is a pretrained anime hand detector/localization neural network, and 3 sets of accompanying anime hand datasets:

1. A dataset of 5,382 anime-style Danbooru2019 images annotated with the locations of 14,394 hands.

   This labeled dataset is used to train a YOLOv3 model to detect hands in anime.

2. A second dataset of 96,534 hands cropped from the Danbooru2019 SFW dataset using the PALM YOLO model.

3. A cleaned version of #2, consisting of 58,536 hand crops upscaled to ≥512px.

Hand detection can be used to clean images (eg. remove face images with any hands in the way), or to generate datasets of just hands (as a form of data augmentation for GANs), to generate reference datasets for artists, or for other purposes. (For human hands, see the “11K Hands” dataset.)
