Action Unit Detection

Aff-Wild is a large-scale in-the-wild dataset for valence-arousal estimation from videos with a variety of head poses, illumination conditions and occlusions. Source: Deep Affect Prediction in-the-wild: Aff-Wild Database and Challenge, Deep Architectures, and Beyond

The BP4D-Spontaneous dataset is a 3D video database of spontaneous facial expressions in a diverse group of young adults. Well-validated emotion inductions were used to elicit expressions of emotion and paralinguistic communication. Frame-level ground-truth for facial actions was obtained using the Facial Action Coding System. Facial features were tracked in both 2D and 3D domains using both person-specific and generic approaches. The database includes forty-one participants (23 women, 18 men). They were 18 – 29 years of age; 11 were Asian, 6 were African-American, 4 were Hispanic, and 20 were Euro-American. An emotion elicitation protocol was designed to elicit emotions of participants effectively. Eight tasks were covered with an interview process and a series of activities to elicit eight emotions. The database is structured by participants. Each participant is associated with 8 tasks. For each task, there are both 3D and 2D videos. As well, the Metadata include manually annotated action units (FACS AU), automatically tracked head pose, and 2D/3D facial landmarks. The database is in the size of about 2.6TB (without compression).

4DFAB is a large scale database of dynamic high-resolution 3D faces which consists of recordings of 180 subjects captured in four different sessions spanning over a five-year period (2012 - 2017), resulting in a total of over 1,800,000 3D meshes. It contains 4D videos of subjects displaying both spontaneous and posed facial behaviours. The database can be used for both face and facial expression recognition, as well as behavioural biometrics. It can also be used to learn very powerful blendshapes for parametrising facial behaviour. Source: ibug
