Abstract
In this paper, we present a practical method for generating facial animation by using an optical motion capture system. In our setup, we assumed a situation of capturing the body motion and the facial expression simultaneously, which degrades the quality of the captured marker data. To overcome this problem, we provide an integrated framework based on the local coordinate system of each marker for labeling the marker data, hole-filling and removing noises. We justify the method by applying it to generate a short animated film.
