3D Models Of The Lips For Realistic Speech Animation
نویسندگان
چکیده
3D models of the lips have been developed in the framework of an audiovisual articulatory speech synthetizer. Unlike most of the regions of the human face, the lips are essentially characterized by their border contours. The internal and external contours of the vermilion zone can be fitted by means of algebraic equations. The coefficients of these equations must be controlled so that the lip shape can be adapted to various speakers conformations and to any speech gesture. To reach this goal, a 3D model of the lips has been worked out from geometrical analysis of the natural lips of a French speaker. Our lip model was developed to adjust a set of continuous functions best fitting the contours of 22 reference lip shapes. Only five parameters are necessary to predict all the equations of the contours of the lip model. From this model, a volumic model based on implicit surfaces was also developped to take in account lip contact.

Building speaker-specific lip models for talking heads from 3d face data
When creating realistic talking head animations, accurate modeling of speech articulators is important for speech perceptibility. Previous lip modeling methods such as simple numerical lip modeling focus on creating a general lip model without incorporating lip speaker variations. Here we present a method for creating accurate speaker-specific lip representations that retain the individual char...
متن کاملFacial animation based on context-dependent visemes
This paper presents a novel approach for the generation of realistic speech synchronized 3D facial animation that copes with anticipatory and perseveratory coarticulation. The methodology is based on the measurement of 3D trajectories of fiduciary points marked on the face of a real speaker during the speech production of CVCV non-sense words. The trajectories are measured from standard video s...

Facial animation is traditionally considered as important but tedious work for most applications, because the muscles on face are complex and dynamically interacting. Although there are several methods proposed to ease the burden from artists to create animating faces, non of these are fast and efficient in storage. This paper introduces a framework for synthesizing lips-sync facial animation g...
