Abstract (eng): | Currently there exists an increasing need of automatic video analysis tools to support sign language studies and the evaluation of the activity of the face in sign language and other videos. Henceforth, research focusing on automatic estimation and annotation of videos and facial gestures is continuously developing. In this work, techniques for the estimation of eye and mouth openness and eyebrow position are studied. Such estimation could prove beneficial for automatic annotation and quantitative evaluation of sign language videos as well as towards more prolific production of sign language material. The method proposed for the estimation of the eyebrow position, eye openness, and mouth state is based on the construction of a set of facial landmarks that employ different detection techniques designed for each facial element. Furthermore, we compare the presented landmark detection algorithm with a recently published third-party face alignment algorithm. The landmarks are used to compute features which describe the geometric information of the elements of the face. The features constitute the input for the classifiers that can produce quantized openness estimates for the studied facial elements. Finally, the estimation performance of the estimations is evaluated in quantitative and qualitative experiments with sign language and news broadcast videos. |
