Title: Extracting Higher-Level Information From Facial Mocap
J.P. Lewis (Weta Digital), Ken Anjyo (OLM Digital)

Raw motion-capture data is valuable information, but it is often in a form that is difficult to use. More work needs to be done on extraction of usable and "semantic" representations from raw motion-capture data. This session presents several examples of mathematical operations on mocap that extract higher-level information, including automatic definitions of regions of influence, identification of salient points, and maps of the importance of various points on the face for communicating emotion and speech.
