Artificial intelligence

Abstract: The article suggests an approach to the software system development, dedicated to the synthesis and the animation of the gestures and facial expressions of the emotions, based on the three-dimensional pattern of a human body. It describes main requirements for the system, analyzing basic problems and the implements for their solution. The article shows a basic architecture of the system, emphasizing in details its modules, especially these ones that are responsible of the generation of the animation, its structure, the algorithm of gestures’ combination and their graphical processing.
