Animations

All movies below are animations of the CID sentence "Open your window before you go to bed", in AVI format and size about 1.6 MB. The number (37 to 9) in their names refers to the number of clusters used. The first movie, with 37 clusters, uses full set of collected data (37 facial markers). Each movie shows the positions of facial markers in planes xy and zy, with the x axis in the horizontal direction from right to left, the y axis in the vertical direction to the top, and the z axis in the protrusion direction to the front. Both the position of facial markers computed using the cluster model, and their measured position are shown, in yellow and red colors, respectively (the yellow marks superimpose to the red marks).
