The Synthesis of Complex Shape Deployments in Sign Language
Résumé
Proform constructs such as classifier predicates and size and shape specifiers are essential elements of Sign Language, but have remained
a challenge for synthesis due to their highly variable nature. In contrast to frozen signs, which may be pre-animated or recorded, their
variability necessitates a new approach both to their linguistic description and to their synthesis in animation. Though the specification
and animation of classifier predicates was covered in previous works, size and shape specifiers have to this date remained unaddressed.
This paper presents an efficient method for linguistically describing such specifiers using a small number of rules that cover a large range
of possible constructs. It continues to show that with a small number of services in a signing avatar, these descriptions can be synthesized
in a natural way that captures the essential gestural actions while also including the subtleties of human motion that make the signing
legible.
