In this paper, we introduce the cartoon faces in the wild (IIIT-CFW) database and associated problems. This database contains 8,928 annotated images of cartoon faces of 100 public figures. It will be useful in conducting research on spectrum of problems associated with cartoon understanding. Note that to our knowledge, such realistic and large databases of cartoon faces are not available in the literature. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016.
