SAMM Long Videos: A Spontaneous Facial Micro- and Macro-Expressions Dataset
share
With the growth of popularity of facial microexpressions in recent years, the demand for long videos with micro- and macro-expressions is increasing. Extended from SAMM, a micro-expressions dataset released in 2016, this short report presents SAMM Long Videos dataset for spontaneous micro- and macro-expressions recognition and spotting. SAMM Long Videos dataset consists of 147 long videos with 343 macro-expressions and 159 micro-expressions. The dataset isFACS-coded with detailed Action Units (AUs). We compareour dataset with the Chinese Academy of Sciences MacroExpressions and Micro-Expressions (CAS(ME)2) dataset, which is the only available fully annotated dataset with micro- and macro-expressions. Further, we preprocess the long videos using OpenFace, which includes face alignment and detection of facial movements based on the AUs. We will release the long videos for the next micro-expressions, and macro-expressions spotting challenge and future research uses.
