Dear fellow face researchers,
For a project on cross-cultural differences in eyewitness testimony and
identification, my PhD student Gabi de Bruïne and I are looking for
databases of young adult male faces (real, not generated) from amongst
which to select fillers for photo lineups for a black Gambian target and a
white Dutch target. Ideally, we would like to select Gambian fillers and
Dutch fillers, respectively, but I can imagine that would be hard to find.
An alternative option would be to select a range of sub-Saharan African
fillers and a range of Western European fillers, respectively. Does any of
you perhaps know of any databases we could use?
We have already looked at the face databases collected in this Google
document
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1K-Gelc-HBgbwsDKWraCubGVf30uOrnTo3FT…>,
and found some Western European faces (some Dutch, Scottish, Danish) and
some sub-Saharan African faces (South African), but not enough of a range
to make the lineup work, particularly for the African target. Any help or
advice would be much appreciated!
Many thanks,
Annelies

Dear all
There is a face resource that you may find useful in face-perception research. The faces are computer-generated but are photo-realistic. The link to the company is (Generated Photos):
https://generated.photos/
All the images they offer are free with a link for non-commercial purposes.
For the academic community, they have also made a 10K dataset with meta-data freely available for research:

(scroll towards the bottom)
They have a very good support team, who are very responsive to questions.
Thanks,
Quoc.

Dear all,
for a research project, I am looking for databases that include at least
one measure of facial appearance (i.e., face photographs or rating data)
and at least one measure for the current or previous residence of the
person depicted (i.e., city name, city size, GPS data, zip code, level
of urbanization, or greenness of neighbourhood). Do you know of any
database that has data for both variables (facial apearance /and
/residence) available?
I am grateful for all kind of suggestions. Thank you!
Best wishes,
Claudia Menzel

Hi,
I'm looking for a set of non-white male faces (black, Asian or East Asian) with each person displaying the traditional six expressions (happiness, anger, fear, disgust, surprise, sadness and a neutral expression). Does anyone have a set that I could use? If so, please contact me. Thanks!

ABOUT
Domains for human behaviour understanding predominantly (e.g.,
multimedia, human-computer interaction, robotics, affective computing
and social signal processing) rely on advanced pattern recognition
techniques to automatically interpret complex behavioural patterns
generated when humans interact with machines or with other agents. This
is a challenging research area where many issues are still open,
including the joint modelling of behavioural cues taking place at
different time scales, the inherent uncertainty of machine detectable
evidence of human behaviour, the mutual influence of people involved in
interactions, the presence of long term dependencies in observations
extracted from human behaviour, and the important role of dynamics in
human behaviour understanding. Computer vision is a key technology for
analysis and synthesis of human behaviour but stands to gain much from
multi-modality and multi-source processing, in terms of improving
accuracy, resource use, robustness, and contextualization.
This workshop, organized as part of WACV 2021, will gather researchers
dealing with the problem of modelling human behaviour under its multiple
facets (expression of emotions, display of relational attitudes, the
performance of an individual or joint actions, etc.), with particular
attention to multi-source aspects, including multi-sensor,
multi-participant and multi-modal settings. Example challenges are the
additional resource and robustness constraints, explorations in
information fusion, social and contextual aspects of interactions, and
building multi-source representations of social and affective signals
with the goal of advancing the state-of-the-art.
The HBU workshops, previously organized as satellite events to major
conferences in different disciplines such as ICPR’10, AMI’11, IROS’12,
ACMMM’13, ECCV’14, UBICOMP’15, ACMMM’16, FG’18, ECCV’18, ICCV’19 have a
unique aspect of fostering cross-pollination of disciplines, bringing
together researchers from a variety of fields, such as computer vision,
HCI, artificial intelligence, pattern recognition, interaction design,
ambient intelligence, psychology and robotics. The diversity of human
behaviour, the richness of multimodal data that arises from its
analysis, and the multitude of applications that demand rapid progress
in this area ensure that the HBU Workshops provide a timely and relevant
discussion and dissemination platform. For HBU@WACV, we particularly
solicit contributions on human behaviour understanding that combine
multiple sources of information, be it across modalities, sensors, or
subjects under observation. The workshop solicits papers on general
topics related to human behaviour understanding, but with a distinct
focus on multi-source solutions.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
+ Multimodal solutions for human behaviour modelling and analysis
+ Multimodal solutions towards behavioural biometrics (gait,
handwriting, keystroke dynamics, etc.)
+ Methods for multi-instance learning in behavioural understanding,
+ Analysis of multi-participant settings and of social interactions,
+ Multi-instance representation for characterizing human health,
empathy,
+ Deep learning for multi-party interactions
+ Multimodal deep learning for behaviour understanding
+ Adversarial learning approaches
+ Related sensor technologies
+ Information fusions approach for behaviour analysis
+ Realistic behaviour synthesis in multiple modalities and for
multi-party settings
+ Mobile and wearable systems for behaviour monitoring
+ Datasets and benchmarks
+ Related applications

Dear all,
**This is a friendly reminder about the 8th Face Science Symposium that
willtake place on Tuesday, 17 November 2020 at 08h30, to start at 09h00 and
toend at 13h00.**
The Face Science Symposium is a joint research and support initiative
between the Eyewitness Research Group (UCT, Department of Psychology), the
South African Police Service, and Facial Identification Researchers and
Practitioners. The initiative was formed in 2014, and we have held a
conference every year since.
*The format is different this year because the symposium will be hosted
online.*
We aim to have between 5 and 7 speakers, depending on the number of keynote
speakers. All presentations will be 20 minutes long, with 5-10 minutes for
questions/discussion.
*There is no cost involved; therefore, it is free to attend or to present.*
*To register for the conference, as a delegate or a speaker, please go
here:https://forms.gle/XFKMpw8ZUK91MjV79
<https://forms.gle/XFKMpw8ZUK91MjV79>*
**Registration as a delegate closes on 12 November.The deadline for
abstractsubmissions is 30 October. We have extended the deadline for
abstract submissions to Monday 2 November. **
*We would love to have presentations from professionals who work in the
field. So far, we have psychology, biomechanical engineering, and
forensic art.*
We want to ensure *a range of topics*, therefore submission of an abstract
is not a guarantee that you will be presenting. Therefore, we will confirm
with you (between 30 October and 5 November) if your abstract submission
was successful. Registration as a delegate is immediately successful.
Previous topics include police interviewing techniques, eyewitness memory
for multiple perpetrator crimes, interviewing witnesses, reconstruction of
faces from skulls), drawing techniques for faces, different tools for
constructing composites, and person recognition from CCTV footage.
*Please share this e-mail far and wide.* We are not limited by physical
borders this year, so we can accommodate international delegates and
attendees. Our original intention for this collaboration was to foster
discussion and research between researchers and practitioners who are
interested in questions and issues about faces. Therefore, as always, we
would like a mix of presentations, ranging from academic topics (from
different departments), in-field experience/case studies/cases, and
practical presentations.
Please do not RSVP to me personally; instead, RSVP through the link above.
If you have questions or issues, then you are welcome to e-mail me.
Thanks in advance, and looking forward to spending the day with you at the
virtual symposium.
Kind regards,
Alicia Nortje

Hello,
I have a student interested in doing a face identity matching project with Korean faces both with and without make up, male and female (specifically look at the K-Pop style of make- up). I would be really grateful if anyone knows of, or can point me towards this type of face database.
Best wishes
Carrie
