The M2VTS multimodal face database (Release 1.00)

Abstract

The primary goal of the M2VTS project is to address the issue of secured access to buildings or multi-media services by the use of automatic person verification based on multimodal strategies (secured access based on speech, face images and other information). This paper presents an overview of the multimodal face database recorded at UCL premises for the purpose of research applications inside the M2VTS project. This database offers synchronized video and speech data as well as image sequences allowing to access multiple views of a face. This material should permit the design and the testing of identification strategies based on speech and/or labial analysis, frontal and/or profile face analysis as well as 3-D analysis thanks to the multiple views. The M2VTS Database is available to any non-commercial user on request to the European Language Resource Agency.
