The Japanese Female Facial Expression (JAFFE) Dataset
The dataset contains 213 images of 7 facial expressions (6 basic facial expressions + 1 neutral) posed by 10 volunteers. Images were rated for degree of each
component basic expression on a five point scale. Sixty-two observers rated the images. The photos were taken at the Psychology Department in Kyushu University. The dataset was planned and assembled by Michael Lyons, Miyuki Kamachi, and Jiro Gyoba. We thank Reiko Kubota for her help as a research assistant.
How to obtain access to the images:
The JAFFE dataset is available free of charge for use in non-commerical scientific research.
Terms-of-use are available at the official repository. Be sure to read them carefully.
JAFFE may be downloaded from the official repository at Zenodo.
