Conversion of continuous speech sound to articulation animation as an application of visual coarticulation modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
A voice to facial animation conversion system is presented in this paper. In particular the temporal structure of the multimodal speech is discussed. Mutual information and neural network training is used to estimate the optimal temporal scope for audio to video conversion.

Allophone-based acoustic modeling for Persian phoneme recognition
Phoneme recognition is one of the fundamental phases of automatic speech recognition. Coarticulation which refers to the integration of sounds, is one of the important obstacles in phoneme recognition. In other words, each phone is influenced and changed by the characteristics of its neighbor phones, and coarticulation is responsible for most of these changes. The idea of modeling the effects o...
متن کاملVisual analysis of viseme dynamics
Face to face dialogue is the most natural mode of communication between humans. The combination of human visual perception of expression and perception in changes in intonation provides semantic information that communicates idea, feelings and concepts. The realistic modelling of speech movements, through automatic facial animation, and maintaining audio-visual coherence is still a challenge in...

Background: Speech and language pathologists should include connected speech assessment as part of their evaluation for children with speech sound disorders. The purpose of the present study was to design and validate an instrument for assessment of articulation by story-retelling for Persian children.Methods: 261 typically developing children, aged 4-5 years old in Iran, Tehran, in 2016-2017, ...
متن کاملModeling visual coarticulation in synthetic talking heads using a lip motion unit inventory with concatenative synthesis
The shape and synchronization of the lip movement with speech seems to be one of the important factors in the acceptability of a synthetic persona, particularly as synthetic beings approach human photo-realism. Most of us cannot lipread nor easily identify a sound by lip-shape alone, but we can readily detect whether the lip movements of a synthetic talking head are acceptable or not. This is t...
متن کاملAnimation of a Hierarchical Appearance Based Facial Model and Perceptual Analysis of Visual Speech
In this Thesis a hierarchical image-based 2D talking head model is presented, together with robust automatic and semi-automatic animation techniques, and a novel perceptual method for evaluating visual-speech based on the McGurk effect. The novelty of the hierarchical facial model stems from the fact that sub-facial areas are modelled individually. To produce a facial animation, animations for ...
