Description

Acted Facial Expressions in the Wild (AFEW) is a dynamic temporal facial expressions data corpus consisting of close to real world environment ex- tracted from movies. It was collected on the basis of Subtitles for Deaf and Hearing impaired (SDH) and Closed Cap- tion (CC) for the purpose of searching expression related content and extracting time stamps corresponding to video clips which represent some meaningful facial motion. The database contains a large age range of subjects from 1-70 years. The information about the clips has been stored in an extensible XML schema and the subjects in the clips have been annotated with attributes like Name, Age of Actor, Age of Character, Pose, Gender, Expression of Person and the overall Clip Expression.Static Facial Expressions in the Wild (SFEW) has been developed by selecting frames from AFEW. The database covers unconstrained facial expressions, varied head poses, large age range, occlusions, varied focus, different resolution of face and close to real world illumination. Frames were extracted from AFEW sequences and labelled based on the label of the sequence. In total, SFEW contains 700 images and that have been labelled for six basic expressions angry, disgust, fear, happy, sad, surprise and the neutral class and was labelled by two independent labellers.For more information about AFEW and SFEW, see the following publications:A.
