Silesian Deception Database: Presentation and Analysis

Abstract

Numerous studies have examined behavioral cues to deception with low temporal video resolution, which does not enable to track the facial movements dynamics. Another problem is the lack of publicly available video databases that allow to develop computer vision algorithms dedicated to the automatic deception recognition. In this paper, we describe a novel publicly available database that consists of 101 video recordings acquired with the use of a high speed camera at 100 fps in a well-controlled laboratory environment and proper illumination. Within this database, over 1.1 million frames were coded providing the ground truth for the potential cues of deception displayed on the subject's face during telling the truth and lying. Some preliminary psychological implications are also presented.
