This class group the models of emotion used for animating virtual humans. General specification of geometry placeholders for H-Anim and Smart Object skeletons. The length of a given body part. Specification of joint values describing the hand posture to grab or manipulate a Smart Object. This class is to specify a value that indicates a measurement. It contains a numerical value and a Unit System Scale that can be meter, kilogram, inch, etc. The main class of this ontology. A Virtual Human is a full-body or partial representation of a Human being. The model can be synthesized in a variety of ways and can represent a real or a virtual person. VHs are characterized by a set of general attributes (sex, nationality, race), and structural descriptors. A VH can have animation sequences, behavior controllers or smart objects associated to it. Any kind of skeletal structure used to animate or attribute objects. MPEG4 BAP (Body Animation Parameter) contains 296 parameters describing the topology of the skeleton. These BAPs can be applied to any MPEG-4 compliant body and produce the same animation. An available means. Joint node, basic building block for an H-Anim skeleton. A joint can have segments (typically used to store the actual geometry of each limb), or other joints. Under certain cases (not H-Anim 1.0 compliant) a joint could directly store a geometry. This class is to classify animations. MPEG4 Facial Animation Parameters contain animation values that are positions of facial landmarks. Has all articulations corresponfing to all body parts For animations where important key frames are defined and the computer calculates with an interpolator the frames in between. Generic class to store 3D vectors (possibly already defined in other ontology clusters). This class is to definea kind of personality usig different dimensions. A value for a dimention can be set. Personality can be described in several dimensions with associated values. Skeletal structure defined for a geometry that allows to animate the geometry. Also it may contain aannotations to the shape such as Landmark and segments of the shape 1 1 1 Algorithms used to produce animations. The class specifies the inputs required for the algorithm to work and the outputs (usually animation sequences or specific joint values) it is capable to produce. An abstract class to describe a family of graph-like nodes that can constitue diverse structural descriptors such as H-Anim skeletons topological graphs etc. Facial Animation Parameters Range values Abstract class for Smart object attributes which can be divided into two main classes: Hand Posture and Location. Human like traits that can be represented for virtual characters like personality, emotions, mood, etc. Contains a set of FAPs and values that correspons to a facial expression. Facial Animation Parameter Definition A place holder to store information associated to a particular location in a 3D geometry. Face | Head | LeftArm | LeftFoot | LeftHand | LeftLeg | Pelvis | RightArm | RightFoot | RightHand | RightLeg | Trunk Cloth patterns that are sewing each other to create a Garment Definition of a virtual cloth that can be suited to a virtual human. Feature point of MPEG-4 This is the container of a human like Skeleton that can contain several nodes of different types: Joint, Landmarks and Segments. Describes the morphology of a human like: age, weight, height, gender, etc. A 3D shape Can be an emotional expression which is observable verbal and nonverbal behaviour that communicates emotion. Part of a human or object model e.g. a Leg an Arm etc. Specifies the locations on a Smart Object where a hand posture or any other given functionality has been defined. Many virtual reality applications require virtual humans that are capable of manipulating objects in their environment. To implement this usually requires that the environment should be extended with some form of knowledge on how interactions between virtual humans and objects are to be carried out. A Smart Object is constituted by a hierarchical collection of nodes. The hierarchical organization specifies the relations between different Geometry and Attribute Sets composing an object. Animation created from recorded movements of a real person using a motion capture system. 1 Describes a meaning movement from an animation in a body part, specifically if it has an expressive or emotional gesture. A file that contains animation values applied to the skeletal structure to produce animations. These files are prerecorded sequences. In MPEG-4, the BDP set defines the set of parametres to transform the default body to a customised body with its body surface, body dimensions, and (optionally) texture. BDPs define the receiving terminal geometric body model to use for rendering. BDP is synonim of the Virtual Human Structure. A set of FAPs range values that are identified as a Facial Expression Profile which shows an emotion. This is to describe the characteristics of the kind of Virtual Human the controller is designed for. A specific facial expression that can be defined inside a Profile. This is to descrine the characteristics of Virtual Human that a controller is designed for. A Virtual human that was created using others Virtual Humans. For MPEG-4 only. This is to define each transformation parameter of the animation, for the body or the face. This is useful in the case the users want to perform an exahustive analysis of the data. If the object has an internal structure such as a skeleton. List of requirements considered as Input of a controller. Kinematic | Dynamic | Cognitive | Gesture | PathPlanning | Skinning | Perception | Other Joint | Segment | Landmark | Other Lost of outputs produced by a controller. List of joints names used by an animation Describes to which model part the joint belongs to. e.g. the joint r_hip belongs to the Right Leg part. Link with upper ontology, the Comon Shape Ontology. This propoerty groups all VH properties The starting node of the skeletal structure Link with upper ontology, the Comon Tools Ontology Describes the morphology of the person that performed the mocap sequence. Emotional expression that could describe the movement 3D vector of the center Describe the skeletal structure of the virtula human if it does have one. Kilograms The corresponding BAP concept of the given BAP value LOA0 | LOA1 | LOA2 | LOA3 Duration in seconds of an emotonal state. Describes a list of human emotion that defines an emotional state. Different theorist have proposed a list of basic emotions. In this list we are describing Plutchik theory. anger | fear | sadness | joy | disgust | surprise | curiosity | acceptance centimeters Frame where the movement finishes Meter | Centimeter | Milimeter | Feet | Inch | Mile | Kilogram | Pound |Other [required] The corresponding FAP concept of the given FAP value or range of values Male | Female [required] T posture | Stand | Sit | Other 3D vector location of the node Extraversion Neuroticism Openness Conscientiousness Emotional Expression Agreeableness
