Dick Puk, Don Brutzman, William Glascoe, Myeong Won Lee, Joe Williams, and Prof. Jung-Ju Choi attended.

1. Facial animation using current H-Anim

Jung-Ju explained his proposal for facial animation. Joe Williams answered Jung-Ju's questions about his proposal. Check out MPEG-4 Facial Animation Parameter overview at the following URL.

2. Restrictions on current H-Anim

Don explains how feature points are animated (via H-AnimSites) and how a comparison (coordinate interpolator of a mesh to see if a displacer is needed).

A prerequisite for coordinate interpolator is that every coordinate in the mesh must be animated.

  • In X3D, a CoordinateInterpolator can animate a mesh. This is an interesting alternative that can be compared in a test.
  • The red dots in the figure correspond to feature points
  • The number of black vertices might vary depending on an implementation
  • The most interesting choice for an H-Anim perspective might be choice of those feature points
    • H-Anim has about about 9 feature points for face (Table B.1)
    • MPEG4 has about 50 feature points for face

So our main decision might be whether to

  1. pre-specify a set of feature points for common use (and re-use)
  2. or allow an author to define them (which might not be valuable, they can define geometry anyway

Joe's comments

A displacer's advantage is that you specify only the end value, not the initial value. A coordinate interpolator


There are animations using displacers. Joe recognizes this proposal is targeting an end point with a weight. In a way it works as an interpolator. Where do you get the source animations for facial expressions?

3. Standardization item for facial animation

4. NWIP discussion
