Using sensor orientation information for computational head stabilisation in 3d electromagnetic articulography (EMA)
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose a new simple algorithm to make use of the sensor orientation information in 3D Electromagnetic Articulography (EMA) for computational head stabilisation. The algorithm also provides a well-defined procedure in the case where only two sensors are available for head motion tracking and allows for the combining of position coordinates and orientation angles for head stabilisation with an equal weighting of each kind of information. An evaluation showed that the method using the orientation angles produced the most reliable results.

Interpolation of tongue fleshpoint kinematics from combined EMA position and orientation data
Articulatory data such as that collected via electromagnetic articulography (EMA) are valuable for many speech applications, including speech modeling, recognition, and synthesis. Nearly all current EMA applications and methods focus on the use of positional sensor data, even though modern 3D-EMA systems also capture sensor orientation, which provides significant additional information about ar...
متن کاملSpeech animation using electromagnetic articulography as motion capture data
Electromagnetic articulography (EMA) captures the position and orientation of a number of markers, attached to the articulators, during speech. As such, it performs the same function for speech that conventional motion capture does for full-body movements acquired with optical modalities, a long-time staple technique of the animation industry. In this paper, EMA data is processed from a motion-...

In this study the measurement accuracy of the 3D EMA (Electromagnetic Articulograhy) system Carstens AG500 was evaluated using an optical motion capture system (Vicon). A custom-built container fixed the positions of the EMA sensors and the optical markers and a series of movements of the container within the EMA measurement field was recorded. The results show that (a) the very small error of ...

The alignment of the transmitter coils for the three-dimensional electromagnetic articulography (3D-EMA), an instrument used to measure articulatory movements, was studied. The receiver coils of the 3D-EMA are used as position markers and are placed in an alternating magnetic field produced by multiple transmitter coils. The estimation of state (the position and orientation) of each receiver co...

We present a technique for the animation of a 3D kinematic tongue model, one component of the talking head of an acoustic-visual (AV) speech synthesizer. The skeletal animation approach is adapted to make use of a deformable rig controlled by tongue motion capture data obtained with electromagnetic articulography (EMA), while the tongue surface is extracted from volumetric magnetic resonance im...
