    A re-acted audio-visual affective Turkish database
    (Bahçeşehir Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, 2014-03) Önder, Onur; Eroğlu Erdem, Çiğdem
    Scientific research on emotion recognition have gained great interest from researchers in the past decade due to its importance in human-computer interraction and artificial intelligence. Extensive affective databases are needed to test the emotion recognition algorithms. Most of the existing databases available to researchers are collections of acted data. However, naturalistic and spontaneous data is needed for developing affect recognition algorithms which will work under realistic conditions. In this thesis, we recorded and annotated a spontaneous audio-visual face database consisting of expressions of emotions as well as mental states. The targeted emotions are happiness, sadness, anger, disgust, fear, surprise, contempt and boredom. The targeted mental states are interest (including curiosity), unsure (including confusion and undecidedness), bothered (including complaint), thoughfulness and concentration. The database is named as BAUM-1: Bahçeşehir University Multimodal Affective Face Database of Spontaneous Affective and Mental States. BAUM-1 has been collected from 31 subjects and it contains video clips recorded from two different angles (frontal stereo and half profile mono). The database contains about 25 hours of video and audio data. The database is being shared by researchers via a web site and we hope it will be a valuable resource for researchers working on audio and/or visual affect recognition.
