Database description
This database is composed of 8 sets of ASCII files giving the coordinates of facial points of
about 2918 images coming from 8 public databases. Only the annotation files are available for
download here. Each set can be downloaded separately. The annotation was done manually using the
FGNET
Annotation convention. The only difference is that the points 8 (right temple) and 13 (left
temple) have been set to (0, 0) because we think they are not reliable enough for face
normalization. Not all the images in each database have been annotated because they were not all
relevant to our
MONNET project. The
images that have been annotated are frontal view images with expressions that can be identified.
The coordinate of the upper left corner pixel is (0, 0).
