morphing facial movements
by Ferenc Kocsor 02 Jun '13

02 Jun '13

Dear All, I'm looking for a software with which I can register facial movements shown in a short video (approx. 30 seconds), and morph these movements on an other face (preferably composite). The point is that I'd like to test subjects ratings of individual dynamic features (i.e., the attractiveness of expressions during talk), without being influenced by facial attractiveness. My guess is that this software is something that uses Active Appearence Model. Has anyone heard about such a tool? thanks a lot Ferenc Kocsor, MSc research assistant Institute of Psychology University of Pécs, Hungary www.evolutionpsychology.com

Re: [Face-research-list] Children's facial expressions
by Kirsten Dalrymple 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

We're working on a database of children's faces (The Dartmouth Database of Children's Faces). It's not FACS coded, but contains images of 40 male and 40 female models between the ages of 6 and 16. Models are photographed on a black background and are wearing black bibs and black hats to cover hair and ears. They are photographed from 5 different camera angles and pose 8 different facial expressions. Models were rated by independent raters and are ranked for the overall believability of their poses.

Children's facial expressions (Hight quality digital images, FACS coded)
by Chiara Fiorentini 11 Apr '13

11 Apr '13

Hi, I am looking for a set of facial expressions of children for the 6 basic emotions (happiness, sadness, fear, surprise, anger and disgust). I am especially interested in images that are high-quality but also received validation for their ecological validity (e.g. would be useful if they are FACS coded and consistent with Ekman's specifications for facial movements occuring in these emotions). Any clues anybody? Many thanks, -- Chiara * "Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving." "Try not to become a man of success. Rather become a man of value." * * -- Albert Einstein*

Three Research Fellowships in Aberdeen
by Burton, Mike 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Dear all - could I ask you to bring the enclosed job ad to the attention of any potential candidates. best, Mike Burton --- University of Aberdeen Three Research Fellowships in Psychology Applications are invited for three Research Fellowships in Psychology. The ERC-funded project, led by Professor Mike Burton, aims to understand aspects of face recognition in both theoretical and applied settings. One of these posts will involve computational and experimental research, and candidates should have a strong background in programming. The second post will be focussed primarily on laboratory experiments, while the third will focus on applied research in real-world settings. Candidates for all positions will need a good track-record in experimental research. The posts will be offered for a period of up to 4 years, and salary will be at the appropriate point on the Grade 6 scale. For full details, and application procedure, see www.abdn.ac.uk/jobs<http://www.abdn.ac.uk/jobs> Closing date for applications is 6 May. Informal enquiries may be made to Professor Mike Burton (Tel. 01224 273930; email m.burton(a)abdn.ac.uk<mailto:m.burton@abdn.ac.uk>).

What should practitioners know about face matching research?
by David White 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

FAO: Experts in face identification / unfamiliar face matching Dear face researchers, I am compiling a list of ''Results that practitioners should know about human face matching performance'", for an article to appear in a Passport Industry magazine (ICAO MRTD report). By 'practitioners' I mean policy makers who design processes for verifying the identity of both passport applicants (e.g. passport issuance), and passport holders (e.g. border control). This process requires people to make 'face matching' decisions, i.e. 'are these images of the same person or of two different people?' I'd like to give the industry some good advice from experts in the field, so that they might develop methods to improve ID verification procedures. Therefore, I am conducting a brief survey: If you have a few minutes to spare, I wonder if you might be able to help me compile this list - by giving thought to 5 'kernels of knowledge' that you would choose to implant in the practitioners' head. Once you have a list (needn't be 5, could be any number), I would be much obliged if you could forward to me, and include any references that you would like to point towards. Kindly e-mail to: david.white(a)unsw.edu.au<mailto:david.white@unsw.edu.au> I will also compile a report of this survey and circulate to the respondents. Best wishes, David ================= David White PhD School of Psychology University of New South Wales Kensington Sydney NSW 2052 Australia
