Dear all
Can anyone recommend, or perhaps be willing to give me access to a large image set of Caucasian and non-Caucasian (perferably Asian) face colour images. I need to have two different images per identity and they need to be colour. If anyone out there can help that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

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

Dear Colleagues,
Face and Gesture 2015 will host demo sessions to give researchers the
opportunity to showcase live demonstrations of their contributions. The
demonstrations are intended to display, in an interactive setting, new
algorithms, methods, technologies and system prototypes. The
demonstrations are not limited to papers being presented at the
conference, although demonstration of work published at FG2015 or its
workshops is encouraged. The primary requirement is that the topic of
the demo falls within the broad context of face and gesture recognition.
Prospective demo participants should fill out a demo application form
(aviailabe from the FG 2015 web-page) and submit it along with an one
page description and the video, showing the actual demo. The application
form should list the requirements of a demonstration (space, power,
internet connection, etc.) All submitted demos will be reviewed, and
decisions will be based on the degree of quality and appropriateness for
FG2015.
The demos will be included in the conference proceedings as one page
abstracts, and will compete for the best demo award, sponsored by FG2015.
At least one presenter for each demo must be registered for the
conference. Demonstrations from academia, government, and industry are
welcome. However, the displays of commercial products can not be
accepted as demos, but only as part of the exhibition program.

Important dates:
Application deadline: February 18, 2014
Acceptance notification: February 23, 2015
Camera-ready demo description (one page): February 27, 2015

SUBMISSIONS:
The manuscripts should be submitted in PDF format and should be no more
than 8 pages in IEEE FG 2015 paper format. The submitted papers should
present original work not currently under review elsewhere and should
have no substantial overlap with already published work. Accepted papers
will be included in the Proceedings of IEEE FG 2015 & Workshops and will
be sent for inclusion into the IEEE Xplore digital library.
ABOUT:
To goal of this workshop is to present the most recent and advanced
work related to biometric recognition in the wild. Submitted papers
should clearly show improvements over the existing state-of-the-art
and use the most challenging datasets available. We are interested
in all parts of biometric systems ranging from detection, landmark
localization, pre-processing, and feature extraction techniques to
modeling and classification approaches capable of operating on biometric
data captured in the wild. Topics of interest include (but are not
limited to):
- Biometric recognition in the wild (face, ear, gait, palm prints, iris,
perioccular…)
- Biometric detection in the wild (face, eyes, ears, body, …)
- Context-aware techniques for biometric detection and recognition
- Landmark localization in the wild
- Robust machine learning for biometrics in the wild
- Normalization techniques for recognition in the wild
- Multi-modal biometrics in the wild
- Novel databases and performance benchmarks
- Related applications
