Abstract    :
     9314898  bADBadler       This is a workshop to exchange views on research
     directions  and update the mechanisms used by the research community
     investigating the area of facial expressions, their semantics, and  their
     animation in the graphical media.  Given the multiplicity and  diversity
     of orientations in the field there is need for a global  assessment of the
     actual state-of-the-art and of improving the  methods of exchange of data
     and software.  In particular, given the  current state of analysis of
     facial expressions there is need to  find commonality of tools for the
     synthesis of the extracted data.   This workshop brings together a small
     group of leading researcher  in the NSF, government, and industrial
     research community to define  scientifically defensible, computationally
     reasonable, and  experimentally useful facial models which may provide the
     basis for  future research.  The worksho produces a published account of
     the  proceedings of the meeting.
