+Description
+===========
+
+`CASIA NIR-VIS 2.0
+<http://www.cbsr.ia.ac.cn/english/NIR-VIS-2.0-Database.html>`_ database offers
+pairs of mugshot images (VIS) and their correspondent Near Infrared (NIR)
+photos.  Capured by CASIA (Chinese Academy of Sciences), the images of this
+database were collected in four recording sessions: 2007 spring, 2009 summer,
+2009 fall and 2010 summer, in which the first session is identical to the `HFB
+database <http://www.cbsr.ia.ac.cn/english/HFB%20Databases.asp>`_.  The CASIA
+NIR-VIS 2.0 database consists of 725 subjects in total.  There are 1-22 VIS and
+5-50 NIR face images per subject.
+
+A preview image of the Database of Faces is shown below:
