Automatic annotation of head velocity and acceleration in Anvil
Proceedings of the Eighth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2012)
Abstract
We describe an automatic face tracker plugin for the ANVIL annotation tool. The face tracker produces data for velocity and for acceleration in two dimensions. We compare annotations generated by the face tracking algorithm with independently made manual annotations for head movements. The annotations are a useful supplement to manual annotations and may help human annotators to quickly and reliably determine onset of head movements and to suggest which kind of head movement is taking place.
