SynPAIN
Listed in Borealis
Overview SynPAIN is a publicly available synthetic dataset to support pairwise pain detection models for older adults with dementia.
Description
It contains 10,710 facial expression images (5,355 neutral/expressive pairs) across five ethnicities/races, representing two age groups (young: 20-35, old: 75+), both genders, and two expression types (pain and non-pain). It also includes five-second, 24 fps videos transitioning from a neutral to an expressive face for 40 identities, representing one combination from each ethnicity/race, gender, expression type, and age group.
