The MUG facial expression database 论文

摘要

This paper presents a new extended collection of posed and induced facial expression image sequences. All sequences were captured in a controlled laboratory environment with high resolution and no occlusions. The collection consists of two parts: The first part depicts eighty six subjects performing the six basic expressions according to the “emotion prototypes” as defined in the Investigator's Guide in the FACS manual. The second part contains the same subjects recorded while they were watching an emotion inducing video. Most of the database recordings are available to the scientific community. Beyond the emotion related annotation the database contains also manual and automatic annotation of 80 facial landmark points for a significant number of frames. The database contains sufficient material for the development and the statistical evaluation of facial expression recognition systems using posed and induced expressions.
