Aim[edit]
The main focus of the project - next to the integration of Faces as an online open source solutionin the eSciDoc architecture - would be to add new attributes to single pictures in form of standardized metadata (e.g METS) and to implement a user management for different usage rights. Therefore, the application has to be flexible to integrate further data like the outcome of the norm study.
Summary[edit]
FACES is a lifespan database of adult emotional facial stimuli. It contains a set of images of naturalistic faces of 171 persons, separated in three different age groups (young, middle-aged and old) displaying each of 6 facial expressions: neutrality, sadness, disgust, fear, anger and happiness. Together that makes 2052 pictures.
To save the personal rights of the depicted persons, the pictures of Faces are only available to researchers on a case by case basis (e.g. person by person, study by study).
For more information please visit the FACES database homepage.
Normstudy
Currently, the MPI is working on a Normstudy for comparing their expert opinion about how an emotion have to look like with the opinion of layman. The results of this study, about 130 grouped values per picture, should be integrated in FACES. Approximately, this will not start before the end of 2008.
Partners[edit]
Faces is a collaboration of the MPDL with the Max Planck Institute for Human Development.
Interest[edit]
The solution might be of interest to any institute which is maintaining collections of pictures/images.
