This paper presents a new face database containing only black face images. It is designed to be used for benchmarking algorithms developed for skin segmentation, face detection and recognition under real life situations. The database contains coloured images of black faces in JPEG formats taken over a period of two years (2007-2009). It contains three subfolders, where the images have been grouped for face detection, face recognition and face tracking purposes. There are over 100 images for face detection containing more than 150 face images and 600 images of ten per 60 individuals for face recognition and 10s video sequences of ten black faces. An interactive Graphic User Interface (GUI) was developed in Matlab® (7.4.1a version) for the face database providing basic information about the images as well as creating an interactive and easy to use environment.
