Formalisme de description des gestes de la langue des signes française pour la génération du mouvement de signeurs virtuels

This paper presents a model for generating French sign language gestures, which is based on both a semi-formal modelling approach, and on a specification formalism yielding to the translation of an utterance into a continuous data flow for the control of a virtual character. This approach benefits from knowledge of structural linguistics proper to sign language, and results of motion capture analysis.
