AR Face Database 人脸识别数据集

Overview

126 people (over 4,000 color images).

Different facial expressions, illumination conditions and occlusions.

Two sessions per person (2 different days).

This face database was created by Aleix Martinez and Robert Benavente in the Computer Vision Center (CVC) at the U.A.B. It contains over 4,000 color images corresponding to 126 people's faces (70 men and 56 women). Images feature frontal view faces with different facial expressions, illumination conditions, and occlusions (sun glasses and scarf). The pictures were taken at the CVC under strictly controlled conditions. No restrictions on wear (clothes, glasses, etc.), make-up, hair style, etc. were imposed to participants. Each person participated in two sessions, separated by two weeks (14 days) time. The same pictures were taken in both sessions.

This face database is publicly available and can be obtained from this web-site. It is free for academic use.Commercial distribution or any act related to commercial use of this database is strictly prohibited.

How to Use it?

All images are stored in 10 different CD-ROMs as RGB RAW files (pixel information). Images are of 768 by 576 pixels and of 24 bits of depth.

Male images are stored as: M-xx-yy.raw

Females as: F-xx-yy.raw

'xx' is a unique person identifier (from "00" to "70" for males and from "00" to "56" for females)

'yy' specifies the features of each image; its meanings are described at the following table:

1 : Neutral expression

2 : Smile

3 : Anger

4 : Scream

5 : left light on

6 : right light on

7 : all side lights on

8 : wearing sun glasses

9 : wearing sun glasses and left light on

10 : wearing sun glasses and right light on

11 : wearing scarf

12 : wearing scarf and left light on

13 : wearing scarf and right light on

14 to 26 : second session (same conditions as 1 to 13)

A total of 30 sequences of images were also grabbed to test dynamic systems. Each sequence consist of 25 color images (same size as above).

CDs 1 to 8 contain the static images. CDs 9 and 10 contains the sequences.

You can convert images from RAW to any other format using ImageMagick (using convert) or any other image software. Convert is part of the freely available ImageMagick library which runs well under any version of Unix (and functions okay under NT, VMS, MacOS, and OS/2): http://www.wizards.dupont.com/cristy/ImageMagick.html

 

An Example

This is only an example of how the images of the AR face database look like. Images have been reduced in size and except the first one all images have been converted to greyscale images (8 bits) and saved as JPG (with 75 quality rate). To get a real example click here.

AR人脸数据集是指包含了各种人脸姿态、表情、光照等多样化信息的数据集,通常用于人脸识别、表情识别等任务的训练和测试。处理AR人脸数据集的主要步骤包括数据预处理、特征提取和模型训练等。 首先,对AR人脸数据集进行数据预处理,包括数据清洗、标注、对齐和裁剪等操作。清洗数据是为了去除噪音和不必要的信息,确保数据的准确性和完整性;标注是为了为每张图片添加标签,方便后续训练和测试;对齐和裁剪是为了保证人脸数据的统一性和规范性,以便后续的特征提取和模型训练。 其次,进行特征提取,这是将原始的人脸数据转换为可供机器学习算法处理的特征表示的过程。在AR人脸数据集中,可以采用传统的特征提取方法,比如LBP(局部二值模式)和HOG(方向梯度直方图),也可以使用深度学习模型进行端到端的特征提取。 最后,使用处理后的数据集进行模型训练。可以选择合适的人脸识别模型或表情识别模型,比如传统的SVM(支持向量机)、KNN(K最近邻)等模型,也可以使用深度学习模型,比如CNN(卷积神经网络)等。在模型训练过程中,还需要进行模型评估和参数调优,以获得更好的模型性能。 综上所述,处理AR人脸数据集需要进行数据预处理、特征提取和模型训练等多个步骤,同时需要结合具体任务的需求和数据集本身的特点,选择合适的方法和模型,以获得良好的训练和测试效果。
