Real-time Facial Expressions in the Auslan Tuition System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Facial expressions are an integral part of Australian Sign Language (Auslan). This paper presents the implementation and integration of facial expression into the Auslan Tuition System. To incorporate this feature, we use a 3D mesh and animation of an avatar to dynamically display the Auslan signs. Vertex blending is used to improve the aesthetic quality of this model. The mesh provides a basis for the three most integral components of expression, namely emotion, head movements, and facial expression modifiers. These three components comprise the expressions that can be displayed and controlled in the Auslan Tuition System.

In recent years, gesture recognition has received much attention from research communities. Computer vision-based gesture recognition has many potential applications in the area of human-computer interaction as well as sign language recognition. Sign languages use a combination of hand shapes, motion and locations as well as facial expressions. Finger-spelling is a manual representation of alph...

Australian sign language, Auslan, uses a combination of hand shapes, positions and movements, as well as facial expressions to communicate. Our ongoing research is to develop an automatic translator that graphically translates English to Auslan. Currently, we have implemented object-oriented C++ graphics libraries to build a whole upper body model. The model is a kinematic tree that allows phys...
