The image dataset was planned and assembled by Michael Lyons, Miyuki Kamachi, and Jiro Gyoba, at Kyushu University, Japan.
The JAFFE images may be used for non-commercial scientific research under certain terms of use, which must be accepted to access the data.
The following article describes the JAFFE images and how they were photographed:
