# Dataset Card for 478-Point Normalized 3D Facial Landmark Dataset
## Dataset Description
This dataset provides **pre-extracted, normalized 3D facial landmark features** derived from the **Video Emotion** dataset. It is optimized for efficient training of **emotion recognition** and **facial analysis models**, bypassing the need to process large raw video files.
**License:** The extracted feature data in this Parquet file is licensed under **Apache 2.0**. Note that the original source video files may have separate licensing terms.
Each entry (row in the Parquet) represents a single video frame and contains the corresponding emotion label along with 1434 features representing the x, y, z coordinates for 478 distinct facial landmarks, as generated by the MediaPipe Face Landmarker model.
---
## Data Fields and Structure
The data is provided in a single Parquet file, typically named **`emotion_landmark_dataset.parquet`**.
| Column Name | Data Type | Description |
| :--------------- | :----------------- | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `video_filename` | String | The identifier of the original video file from which the frame was extracted. |
| `frame_num` | Integer | The sequential frame index within the original video file. |
| `emotion` | String/Categorical | The ground truth emotion label for this **clip**. **Classes include: Angry, Disgust, Fear, Happy, Neutral, Sad.** |
| `x_0` to `x_477` | Float | The normalized X coordinate (horizontal position) for each of the 478 landmarks (0.0 to 1.0). |
| `y_0` to `y_477` | Float | The normalized Y coordinate (vertical position) for each of the 478 landmarks (0.0 to 1.0). |
| `z_0` to `z_477` | Float | The normalized Z coordinate (depth, relative to the face center) for each of the 478 landmarks. |
**Note on Coordinates:** Since the coordinates are **normalized** (0.0 to 1.0), they must be multiplied by the respective pixel width and height of the original frame to visualize them accurately.

## Data Collection and Processing
### Source Video Details (Video Emotion Dataset)
- **Source:** [Video Emotion](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/thnhthngchu/video-emotion) (Kaggle User: thnhthngchu)
- **Domain:** Facial expressions and affective computing, covering a range of scenarios.
- **Labels:** Videos were originally labeled with clip-level emotional categories.
- **License of Original Data:** Users must refer to the licensing terms specified by the original source dataset on Kaggle.
### Feature Extraction Methodology
The features were extracted using the **MediaPipe Face Landmarker** model.
1. **Frame Extraction:** Each video file was processed frame-by-frame.
2. **Landmark Detection:** For each frame, the 478 facial landmarks were detected.
3. **Normalization:** All coordinates (x, y, z) are normalized to the range [0.0, 1.0] relative to the bounding box of the face or the original frame dimensions.
---
## Usage Example and Visualization
To ensure the coordinates have been extracted correctly and to demonstrate the data visually, please refer to the provided **`optimized-3d-facial-landmark-dataset-usage.ipynb`** file in the repository.
This Jupyter Notebook contains a runnable Python example that **loads random video frames**, correctly denormalizes the coordinates using the frame's dimensions, and plots the 478 landmarks on the face.

---
## Potential Applications
- **Transfer Learning:** Use the landmarks as input features for lightweight classifiers (e.g., LSTMs, simple MLPs) for emotion recognition.
- **Biometrics:** Advanced facial tracking and identity verification research.
- **Data Augmentation:** Analyze feature distribution for generating synthetic training data.
