Database update:
Our face database at http://pics.stir.ac.uk/ESRC/index.htm has been updated. There are now 64 male and 71 female identities in most of the image types. I'm still updating a few, such as the stereo images and the conformed 3D models. The unedited 3D models are mostly of higher quality than previously.
While there are still relatively few identities, the variety of imagery provided for each person is still the widest that I know of.

I am wondering whether anyone knows (or has) a database of faces with
the same
individual's face shown at multiple times across the lifespan - even
just childhood and
adulthood (and if there is a third point, this would be even better).
Many thanks, Marlene Behrmann

If you wanted unfamiliar faces for use with an American audience, then there are many soccer players who have childhood and adult images available online.

Dear Marlene,
I don’t know of any databases per se, but I recently wondered the same thing and started pulling various links together. Below are a few instances I’m aware of when individuals or groups have taken photos every year (not ideal, but depending on what you’re after, could suffice).
There is also a BBC documentary by Robert Winston (‘Child of Our Time') which follows 25 children born in 2000 - you could probably get some good images from there.
If you ever pull together a database though, that would be a brilliant resource!

Dr Jamal Mansour (https://www.qmu.ac.uk/schools-and-divisions/psychology-and-sociology/psycho… ) welcomes applications from competitive students with an honours undergraduate or masters degree. The bursary covers tuition as well as provides an annual stipend for living and a small research budget. The deadline for applications is Friday, March 30. The details of the eyewitness identification project can be found here: https://www.qmu.ac.uk/media/4209/cass-phd-bursary-topics-2018.pdf (BUR18-03). Further details about the competition can be found here: https://www.qmu.ac.uk/study-here/postgraduate-research-study/graduate-schoo….

Hi Rachel,
You might find Webmorph.org<http://Webmorph.org> useful (it’s a web-based version of Psychomorph). It has a lot of extra batch functions that are easier to use than Psychmorph.
Send me your email and I’ll sign you up for a beta testing account.
I’d also be keen to add a function to webmorph to import FantaMorph templates. If you have any examples of template files you could send me, I can have a bash at writing a conversion script.
Cheers,
Lisa

The lines in Psychomorph are also for helping with placement, so far as I know. The end of the file does just tell you which points are joined together. Here’s the start of a ‘standard’ template file line section:
39 # 39 line definitions
0 # move on
2 #first line has two points
0 0 #they are both point 0 ## I don’t know the significance of defining a zero length line, this is the pupil
0 # move on
2 #next line has two points
1 1 #other pupil
0
9 # a proper line with 9 points!
2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 2 # the line forms a ring, starting and ending at point 2
0
9
10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 10
You can define the lines from within Psychomorph from the delineate menu.
I’ve attached a superbatch file for caricaturing, with some comments

Hi everyone,
I am trying to learn PsychoMorph having previously used Fantamorph. I have read through Clare Sutherland's basic guide, but I need some help with more detailed qus and I can't find anything Wiki site. If anyone can provide advice on any of these questions I would be very grateful!
In Fantamorph the lines are are purely for visual grouping and don't do anything, morphing is all to do with matched dot placement, and you can check that dots are correctly matched by looking at the triangles. Do the lines in PsychoMorph do anything, or are they just guides?
Part of the reason I need to know is that I am trying to import Fantamorph information into PsychoMorph. I have managed to import my point dot information by taking the lines of paired dot position information from the .fmd files and putting them into a .tem file with the number of dots in the first line corrected. However, I couldn't figure out exactly what the info at the end of the original .tem files generated by PsychoMorph is and whether I need it or something equivalent. It SEEMS to be the information about lines, does anyone know about this?
I would also love to be able to batch importing and/or making caricatures if I can get the .tem files set up properly. It seems like I might be able to do this with SuperBatchTransform, but from this page http://cherry.dcs.aber.ac.uk:8080/wiki/batch
I can't figure out exactly what needs to go in my input file. Does anyone have an example they would be willing to share?
