The ORL face database
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
This directory contains a set of faces taken between April 1992 and
|
|
April 1994 at the Olivetti Research Laboratory in Cambridge, UK.
|
|
|
|
There are 10 different images of 40 distinct subjects. For some of the
|
|
subjects, the images were taken at different times, varying lighting
|
|
slightly, facial expressions (open/closed eyes, smiling/non-smiling)
|
|
and facial details (glasses/no-glasses). All the images are taken
|
|
against a dark homogeneous background and the subjects are in
|
|
up-right, frontal position (with tolerance for some side movement).
|
|
|
|
The files are in PGM format and can be conveniently viewed using the 'xv'
|
|
program. The size of each image is 92x112, 8-bit grey levels. The images
|
|
are organised in 40 directories (one for each subject) named as:
|
|
|
|
sX
|
|
|
|
where X indicates the subject number (between 1 and 40). In each directory
|
|
there are 10 different images of the selected subject named as:
|
|
|
|
Y.pgm
|
|
|
|
where Y indicates which image for the specific subject (between 1 and 10).
|
|
|
|
When using these images, please give credit to Olivetti Research Laboratory.
|
|
A convenient reference is the face recognition work which uses some of
|
|
these images:
