Abstract

Animated digital characters play an important role in virtual experiences. In this work, we utilize data from a large scale user study as training data for a generative model for producing a variety of animated smiles. Our method involves a four stage process that samples a variety of facial expressions,and annotates them with perceived happiness from the user study. The expressions are then transformed into a standardized space and used by a non-parametric classifier to predict happiness of new smiles.
