Reactive Memories : An Interactive Talking - Head by Vincent E Devin & David C Hogg
نویسنده
چکیده
We demonstrate a novel method for producing a synthetic talking head. The method is based on earlier work in which the behaviour of a synthetic individual is generated by reference to a probabilistic model of interactive behaviour within the visual domain such models are learnt automatically from typical interactions. We extend this work into a combined visual and auditory domain and employ a state-of-the-art facial appearance model. The result is a synthetic talking head that responds appropriately and with correct timing to simple forms of greeting with variations in facial expression and intonation. keywords : interactive head, face tracking, speech reconstitution, virtual partner, behaviour modelling.

متن کاملCognitive Vision: Integrating Symbolic Qualitative Representations with Computer Vision
We describe the challenge of combining continuous computer vision techniques and qualitative, symbolic methods to achieve a system capable of cognitive vision. Key to a truly cognitive system, is the ability to learn: to be able to build and use models constructed autonomously from sensory input. In this paper we overview a number of steps we have taken along the route to the construction of su...
متن کاملLearning about Objects and Activities
Statistical learning has become a central theme in computational studies of intelligence, with important but largely independent developments in perceptual tasks like object recognition and in conceptual reasoning (Mitchell (1997)). Typically, the former involves clustering and regression over quantitative representations based on real linear spaces ( n R ), whereas the latter involves symbolic...
متن کاملAn Interactive Fuzzy Satisfying Method Based on Particle Swarm Optimization for Multi-Objective Function in Reactive Power Market
Reactive power plays an important role in supporting real power transmission, maintaining system voltages within proper limits and overall system reliability. In this paper, the production cost of reactive power, cost of the system transmission loss, investment cost of capacitor banks and absolute value of total voltage deviation (TVD) are included into the objective function of the power flow ...
متن کاملRealistic facial animation system for interactive services
This paper presents the optimization of parameters of talking head for web-based applications with a talking head, such as Newsreader and E-commerce, in which the realistic talking head initiates a conversation with users. Our talking head system includes two parts: analysis and synthesis. The audiovisual analysis part creates a face model of a recorded human subject, which is composed of a per...
