Method for Custom Facial Animation and Lip-Sync in an Unsupported Environment, Second LifeTM
نویسندگان
چکیده
The virtual world of Second LifeTM does not offer support for complex facial animations, such as those needed for an intelligent virtual agent to lip sync to audio clips. However, it is possible to access a limited range of default facial animations through the native scripting language, LSL. Our solution to produce lip sync in this environment is to rapidly trigger and stop these default animations in custom sequences to produce the illusion that the intelligent virtual agent is speaking the phrases being heard.

Animating Lip-Sync Characters
Speech animation is traditionally considered as important but tedious work for most applications, especially when taking lip synchronization (lip-sync) into consideration, because the muscles on the face are complex and interact dynamically. Although there are several methods proposed to ease the burden on artists to create facial and speech animation, almost none are fast and efficient. In thi...
متن کاملCarnival-combining speech technology and computer animation.
Speech is powerful information technology and the basis of human interaction. By emitting streams of buzzing, popping, and hissing noises from our mouths, we transmit thoughts, intentions, and knowledge of the world from one mind to another. We’re accustomed to thinking of speech as an acoustic, auditory phenomenon. However, speech is also visible. Although the primary function of speech is to ...
متن کاملDevelopment of a lip-sync algorithm based on an audio-visual corpus
In this paper, we propose a corpus-based lip-sync algorithm for natural face animation. Audio-visual (AV) corpus was constructed from the video-recorded announcer’s facial shot, speaking the given texts selected from newspapers. To obtain lip parameters, we attached 19 markers on the speaker's face, and we extracted the marker positions by the color filtering followed by the center-of-gravity m...

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...
متن کاملAutomated Gesturing for Embodied Animated Agent: Speech-driven and Text-driven Approaches
We present two methods for automatic facial gesturing of graphically embodied animated agents. In one case, conversational agent is driven by speech in automatic Lip Sync process. By analyzing speech input, lip movements are determined from the speech signal. Another method provides virtual speaker capable of reading plain English text and rendering it in a form of speech accompanied by the app...
