Description

The AT&T Database of Faces, (formerly 'The ORL Database of Faces'), contains a set of face images taken between April 1992 and April 1994. The database was used in the context of a face recognition project carried out at Cambridge University <http://www.cam.ac.uk/>.

There are ten different images of each of 40 distinct subjects. For some subjects, the images were taken at different times, varying the lighting, facial expressions (open / closed eyes, smiling / not smiling) and facial details (glasses / no glasses). All the images were taken against a dark homogeneous background with the subjects in an upright, frontal position (with tolerance for some side movement).

A preview image of the Database of Faces is shown below:

The files are in PGM format. The size of each image is 92x112 pixels, with 256 grey levels per pixel. There are 40 subjects, each subject having 10 different images.
