Collection of Facial Images: Faces96

Acquisition conditions

Using a fixed camera, a sequence of 20 images per individual was taken. During the sequence the subject takes one step forward towards
the camera. This movement is used to introduce significant head variations between images of same individual.
There is about 0.5  seconds between successive frames in the sequence.

Database Description

• Number of individuals: 152
• Image resolution: 196x196 pixels (square format)
• Contains images of male and female subjects

• Backgrounds: the background is complex (glossy posters)
• Head Scale: large head scale variation
• Head turn,tilt and slant:  the images contain minor variation in these attributes
• Position of face in image: some translation
• Image lighting variation: as subject moves forward, significant lighting changes occur due to the artificial lighting arrangement
• Expression Variation:  some expression variation
• Additional comment:  there is no hairstlye variation as the images were taken in a single session.
