Primary research on the viseme system in Standard Chinese

چکیده
The study of traditional phonetics indicates the shape of lips takes important effect on the articulations of consonants and vowels. [1]. AVSP (Audio-Visual Speech Processing) can improve the naturalness of synthetical speech and recognition rate of the speech recognition system. Especially in computer-synthesized face, the movements of lip-shape play a crucial role. The present research aims to theorize a system of lip-shape variety comparison of the phoneme system of Standard Chinese. A new terminology“viseme system” is given to this system. A small-scale visual speech database was created firstly and the viseme system in Standard Chinese is concluded based on the database and through a series of statistics methods.

متن کاملPhoneme-to-viseme Mapping for Visual Speech Recognition
Phonemes are the standard modelling unit in HMM-based continuous speech recognition systems. Visemes are the equivalent unit in the visual domain, but there is less agreement on precisely what visemes are, or how many to model on the visual side in audio-visual speech recognition systems. This paper compares the use of 5 viseme maps in a continuous speech recognition task. The focus of the stud...

Speech is the most common communication method between humans and involves the perception of both auditory and visual channels. Automatic speech recognition focuses on interpreting the audio signals, but it has been demonstrated that video can provide information that is complementary to the audio. Thus, the study of automatic lip-reading is important and is still an open problem. One of the ke...
