Classifying Visemes for Automatic Lipreading
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automatic lipreading is automatic speech recognition that uses only visual information. The relevant data in a video signal is isolated and features are extracted from it. From a sequence of feature vectors, where every vector represents one video image, a sequence of higher level semantic elements is formed. These semantic elements are “visemes” the visual equivalent of “phonemes” The developed prototype uses a Time Delayed Neural Network to classify the visemes.

Understanding the visual speech signal
For machines to lipread, or understand speech from lip movement, they decode lip-motions (known as visemes) into the spoken sounds. We investigate the visual speech channel to further our understanding of visemes. This has applications beyond machine lipreading; speech therapists, animators, and psychologists can benefit from this work. We explain the influence of speaker individuality, and dem...
متن کاملThe Development of a Brazilian Talking Head
This paper describes partial results of a research, in progress at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the State University of Campinas, aimed at developing a realistic three-dimensional Brazilian Talking Head. Through an extensive analysis of a video-audio linguistic corpus, a set of 29 phonetic context-dependent visemes (22 consonantal plus 7 vocalic visemes), that accommodat...
متن کاملVisual gesture variability between talkers in continuous visual speech
Recent adoption of deep learning methods to the field of machine lipreading research gives us two options to pursue to improve system performance. Either, we develop endto-end systems holistically or, we experiment to further our understanding of the visual speech signal. The latter option is more difficult but this knowledge would enable researchers to both improve systems and apply the new kn...
متن کاملVisual speech recognition: aligning terminologies for better understanding
We are at an exciting time for machine lipreading. Traditional research stemmed from the adaptation of audio recognition systems. But now, the computer vision community is also participating. This joining of two previously disparate areas with different perspectives on computer lipreading is creating opportunities for collaborations, but in doing so the literature is experiencing challenges in ...
متن کاملPersian Viseme Classification Using Interlaced Derivative Patterns and Support Vector Machine
Viseme (Visual Phoneme) classification and analysis in every language are among the most important preliminaries for conducting various multimedia researches such as talking head, lip reading, lip synchronization, and computer assisted pronunciation training applications. With respect to the fact that analyzing visemes is a language dependent process, we concentrated our research on Persian lan...
