A good front end for visual feature extraction is an important element of audio-visual speech recognition systems. We propose a new visual feature representation that combines both geometricand pixel-based features. Using our previously developed contour-based lip-tracking algorithm, geometric features including the height and width of the lips are automatically extracted. Lip boundary tracking...
