Short description of the database set

Here I'll just give a short overview of the RaFD image set.

In total, the set currently contains 72 models:

• 21 Dutch male adults
  
• 21 Dutch female adults
  
• 5 Dutch male kids
• 6 Dutch female kids
• 19 Moroccan male adults

Each model was trained by a FACS coder, to show each of the following emotional expressions:

• happy
  
• angry
• sad
• contemptous
• disgusted
  
• neutral
  
• fearful
• surprised

Each emotion was shown with three different gaze directions (without changing head orientation):

• looking left
• looking frontal
• looking right

Further, each picture was taken from five different camera angles simultaneously:


Just to give you an impression on the quality of the database:

• we took each photo several times, amounting to a total of more than 50.000 images
• as each image has a resolution between 10 and 15 Mpx, all images amount to nearly 1TB of data
• after selecting the two best pictures for each emotion, gaze direction, and model, the final dataset will still contain 17.520 images

So, I hope this gives some good impression of what RaFD does contain.
