Overview

126 people (over 4,000 color images).

Different facial expressions, illumination conditions and occlusions.

Two sessions per person (2 different days).

This face database was created by Aleix Martinez and Robert Benavente in the Computer Vision Center (CVC) at the U.A.B. It contains over 4,000 color images corresponding to 126 people's faces (70 men and 56 women). Images feature frontal
view faces with different facial expressions, illumination conditions, and occlusions (sun glasses and scarf). The pictures were taken at the CVC under strictly controlled conditions. No restrictions on wear (clothes, glasses, etc.), make-up, hair style, etc.
were imposed to participants. Each person participated in two sessions, separated by two weeks (14 days) time. The same pictures were taken in both sessions.

This face database is publicly available and can be obtained from this web-site. It is free for academic use.Commercial distribution or any act related to commercial use of this database is strictly prohibited.
See a movie example (due to compression the quality of this video is not very good):arfd2.avi (1.97 Mb).
How to Use it?
All images are stored in 10 different CD-ROMs as RGB RAW files (pixel information). Images are of 768 by 576 pixels and of 24 bits of depth.
Male images are stored as: M-xx-yy.raw
Females as: F-xx-yy.raw
'xx' is a unique person identifier (from "00" to "70" for males and from "00" to "56" for females)
'yy' specifies the features of each image; its meanings are described at the following table:
1 : Neutral expression
2 : Smile
3 : Anger
4 : Scream
5 : left light on
6 : right light on
7 : all side lights on
8 : wearing sun glasses
9 : wearing sun glasses and left light on
10 : wearing sun glasses and right light on
11 : wearing scarf
12 : wearing scarf and left light on
13 : wearing scarf and right light on
14 to 26 : second session (same conditions as 1 to 13)
A total of 30 sequences of images were also grabbed to test dynamic systems. Each sequence consist of 25 color images (same size as above).
CDs 1 to 8 contain the static images. CDs 9 and 10 contains the sequences.
You can convert images from RAW to any other format using ImageMagick (using convert) or any other image software. Convert is part of the freely available ImageMagick library which runs well under any version of Unix (and functions okay under
NT, VMS, MacOS, and OS/2): http://www.wizards.dupont.com/cristy/ImageMagick.html

An Example
This is only an example of how the images of the AR face database look like. Images have been reduced in size and except the first one all images have been converted to greyscale images (8 bits) and saved as JPG (with 75 quality rate). To

This file contains four (4) different manual annotations of the shape of each of the facial components of the faces in teh AR database. Detail description of the manual annotations are in: Ding & Martinez, "Features versus Context: An approach for precise
and detailed detection and delineation of faces and facial features" PDF.
All paper using these manual annotations must cite the paper "Features versus Context: An approach for precise and detailed detection and delineation of faces and facial features," IEEE Transactions
