Abstract: Quality data recorded in varied realistic environments is vital for effective human face related research. Currently available datasets for human facial expression analysis have been generated in highly controlled lab environments. We present a new dynamic 2D facial expressions database based on movies capturing diverse scenarios. A new XML schema based approach has been developed for the database collection and distribution tools. Our database captures varied facial expressions, natural head pose movements, occlusions, subjects from various races, gender, diverse ages and multiple subjects in a scene. The subjects have been labelled with information such as name, age of character, age of actor, gender, pose and individual facial expressions. In total, we used thirty-seven movie DVDs. The database consists of a detailed XML schema which contains information about the clips and experiment protocols.
