Towards a Generic Talking Head
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present here a framework for developing a generic talking head capable of reproducing the anatomy and the facial deformations induced by speech movements with a set of a few parameters. We will show that the speakerspecific articulatory movements can be straightforward encoded into the normalized MPEG-4 Facial Animation Parameters and Facial Definition Parameters.

Animated talking head with personalized 3D head model
Natural Human-Computer Interface requires integration of realistic audio and visual information for perception and display. An example of such an interface is an animated talking head displayed on the computer screen in the form of a human-like computer agent. This system converts text to acoustic speech with synchronized animation of mouth movements. The talking head is based on a generic 3D h...
متن کاملGeneration of Personalized MPEG-4 compliant Talking Heads
This paper studies a new method for three-dimensional (3D) facial model adaptation and its integration into a Text-to-Speech (TTS) system. The TTS System pronounces, in real time, English or Greek speech and simultaneously animates the adapted face model, thus simulating a natural talking face. The 3D facial adaptation requires a set of two orthogonal views of the user’s face with a number of f...
متن کاملA Model for Personality and Emotion Simulation
This paper describes a generic model for personality, mood and emotion simulation for conversational virtual humans. We present a generic model for describing and updating the parameters related to emotional behaviour. Also, this paper explores how existing theories for appraisal can be integrated into the framework. Finally we describe a prototype system that uses the described models in combi...
متن کاملGeneric personality and emotion simulation for conversational agents
This paper describes a generic model for personality, mood and emotion simulation for conversational virtual humans. We present a generic model for updating the parameters related to emotional behaviour, as well as a linear implementation of the generic update mechanisms. We explore how existing theories for appraisal can be integrated into the framework. Then we describe a prototype system tha...
متن کاملTowards an Audiovisual Virtual Talking Head: 3d Articulatory Modeling of Tongue, Lips and Face Based on Mri and Video Images
A linear three-dimensional articulatory model of tongue, lips and face is presented. The model is based on a linear component analysis of the 3D coordinates defining the geometry of the different organs, obtained from Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the tongue, and from front and profile video images of the subject’s face marked with small beads. In addition to a common jaw height parameter, the ...
