Investigation and analysis of non manual gestures involved in LSF: blinking
Résumé
The present communication tackles Non Manual Gestures (NMG)
description within the context of automatic generation of French Sign Language
(LSF). To generate automatically the NMG it is necessary to have sufficient
knowledge on their dynamics. Blinking is not much taken into account even if
its importance is underlined in several studies. Our purpose is to improve our
knowledge on eye blinking so as to be able to generate them. We introduce the
results of our study and our eye blinking typology. We describe in further
details the most frequent category in our corpus, called segmentation.
