Face Exploration - Capture all Degrees of Freedom of the Face

A high quality data capture is decisive for your scientific work. As a member of the data team, it is a core task of my daily routine to ensure good quality standards in this field. My talk will enlighten the background of this work, starting from scanner set-up and the corresponding data outcome with focus on the Face Scanner. A work, each scientist can profit from for his personal projects. I will take the occasion to present our most recent face capture study named FACE EXPLORATION, of which Timo Bolkart is the leading scientist. A selection of representative sequences including facial movements and expressions will be demonstrated along with general informations on protocol and participating subjects. Further, I would like to point out some parallels between actors and computer scientist by doing an approach to the topic of facial expression – based on my experience as an actress prior to my work at PS.
