Dear all,
I am currently searching for validated databases, from which I can
extract pictures of Asians and Africans. I would need an angry and happy
face from every person. The pictures should be coloured and portraits
would be nice but not compulsorily necessary as I can crop them myself.
In total I would need just 20 pairs while 10 should be male and 10
should be female.
These pictures will be used in an experiment with pet dogs at a
touchscreen to investigate if they can read and distinguish emotions.
Can somebody tell me, where I can get such pictures? Or maybe somebody
has such pictures and can help me out?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Cheers,
Anjuli

Dear all

Dear all,
I have recently created a beginner's guide to Psychomorph, the facial manipulation software used in face morphing, averaging etc. Might be useful to some of you (or to pass on to your students).
Here is the link: https://dlib.york.ac.uk/yodl/app/home/detail?id=york%3a847354&ref=browse
Any feedback or questions, please email me. I'm keen to know what people think and to receive suggestions for the future.
Cheers,
Clare
