Facial animation is a broad and exciting area of research drawing on
multiple disciplines: computer graphics and animation provide the
means to render and display a face, computer vision can be used to
measure, interpret and decode facial actions, while psychology can
help provide the emotive human element of animation. However, creating
convincing facial animation is an exceptionally difficult task each
one of us is an expert judge in deciding whether an animation is
realistic or not. In todays world, facial animation has more
applications than ever before: from video game characters to movie
actor doubles, from machine facial displays to psychological research
stimuli.
Following on from the success of FAA 2009 (http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/faa2009/
), and FAA 2010 (http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/faa/), we are pleased to
announce a call for submissions for FAA 2012, in cooperation with ACM.
The aim of this meeting is to bring together researchers and
practitioners from both academia and industry particularly in VFX
and games - interested in all aspects of facial animation and related
analysis. Submissions are invited in the following broad topic areas:
