چکیده
Audio/visual speech, in the form of labial movement and facial expression data, was utilized in order to semi-automatically build a new Italian expressive and emotive talking head capable of believable and emotional behavior. The methodology, the procedures and the specific software tools utilized for this scope will be described together with some implementation examples.

متن کاملModelling of emotional facial expressions during speech in synthetic talking heads using a hybrid approach
Talking heads and virtual characters, able to communicate complex information with human-like expressiveness and naturalness, should be able to display emotional facial expressions. In recent years several works, both rule-based and statistical, have obtained important results in the modelling of emotional facial expressions to be used in synthetic Talking Heads. However, most of the rule-based...
متن کاملTalking condition recognition in stressful and emotional talking environments based on CSPHMM2s
This work is aimed at exploiting Second-Order Circular Suprasegmental Hidden Markov Models (CSPHMM2s) as classifiers to enhance talking condition recognition in stressful and emotional talking environments (completely two separate environments). The stressful talking environment that has been used in this work uses Speech Under Simulated and Actual Stress (SUSAS) database, while the emotional t...
