PICS database update

by Peter Hancock

Dear all, I've been doing a bit of work on the PICS database, http://pics.stir.ac.uk. I've added some more face sets and hope to have some 3d images available by the end of the summer. I'll also add to the 'other databases' list, especially if you tell me about yours! Now, I'm sure many of you have collections of faces that would be of great benefit to the community but are hidden away. So, if you have images that you could make available but haven't got round to, now is the time to zip them up and I'll put them on the server here, with due acknowledgement. I haven't yet sorted downloading with permission only, but hope to do so. Therefore, if you have images that you are prepared to make available only to vetted researchers, let me know and we'll see what can be done.
