Mimics, Muscles, and Me (v1)
The dataset contains facial electromyography (sEMG) recordings and corresponding facial geometry data of the corresponding author (Tim Büchner) during various facial functional and emotional expressions. It is designed to facilitate research in facial expression synthesis and analysis, particularly in the context of occluded facial regions and underlying muscle activity. This dataset does not require any additional registration, unlike the main Mimics and Muscles dataset.
The dataset includes:
