TLDR
A context-based visubsyllable database is set up to map Chinese initials or finals to their corresponding pronunciation mouth shape and 3D facial animation can be synthesized based on speech signal input.Abstract:
This paper describes a prototype implementation of a speech driven facial animation system for embedded devices. The system is comprised of speech recognition and talking head synthesis. A context-based visubsyllable database is set up to map Chinese initials or finals to their corresponding pronunciation mouth shape. With the database, 3D facial animation can be synthesized based on speech signal input. Experiment results show the system works well in simulating real mouth shapes and forwarding a friendly interface in communication terminals.read more

Visyllable Based Speech Animation
TL;DR: This paper takes a novel approach for speech animation — using visyllables, the visual counterpart of syllables, into a concatenative visyllable based speech animation system that is easy to implement, effective for real‐time as well as non real-time applications and results into realistic speech animation.
