متن کاملLip animation synthesis: a unified framework for speaking and laughing virtual agent
This paper proposes a unified statistical framework to synthesize speaking and laughing lip animations for virtual agents in real time. Our lip animation synthesis model takes as input the decomposition of a spoken text into phonemes as well as their duration. Our model can be used with synthesized speech. First, Gaussian mixture models (GMMs), called lip shape GMMs, are used to model the relat...
