Emotional Face Expression Profiles Supported by Virtual Human Ontology
Computer Animation and Social Agents (CASA) 2006, Geneva, July 5th-7th, 2006
ABSTRACT
Expressive face animation synthesis of human like characters has had many approaches with good results. MPEG-4 standard has functioned as the basis of many of those approaches. In this paper we want to lay down the knowledge of some of those approaches inside an ontology in order to support the modeling of emotional face animation in virtual humans (VH). Inside this ontology we present MPEG-4 facial animation concepts and its relation with emotion through expressive profiles. This relation in the presented profiles is made using psychological models of emotions. The ontology allows storing, indexing and retrieving prerecorded synthetic facial animations that can express a given emotion. Also this ontology can be used as expertise knowledge base of the emotional facial animation creation. This ontology is made using the Web Ontology Language and the results are presented as answered queries.
