Welcome to Indian Spontaneous Expression Database (ISED).
We present a spontaneous expression dataset for the advancement of research in facial expression analysis. Near frontal face video was recorded for 50 participants while watching emotional video clips. The novel experiment design induced spontaneous emotions among the participants and simultaneously gathered their self ratings of experienced emotion. Video clips were annotated carefully by four trained decoders, which were further validated by the nature of stimuli used and self-report of emotions.
The ISED contains near frontal face recordings of spontaneous emotions at high resolution and frame rates along with information regarding gender of the participants, the ground-truth of emotional clips and its intensity, and the peak emotion intensity frame in the video clips.
Head movement in all directions werere also allowed. The covered emotions include Happiness, Disgust, Sadness, and Surprise.
The dataset is freely available for research purposes and we encourage other researchers to use it in their own experiments related to recognition of affective states.
