Animating Virtual Speakers or Singers from Audio: Lip-Synching Facial Animation

摘要

The aim of this special issue is to provide a detailed description of state-of-the-art systems for animating faces during speech, and identify new techniques that have recently emerged from both the audiovisual speech and computer graphics research communities. This special issue is a follow-up to the first LIPS Visual Speech Synthesis Challenge held as a special session at INTERSPEECH 2008 in Brisbane, Australia. As a motivation for the present special issue, we will report on the LIPS Challenge with respect to the synthesis techniques, and more importantly the methods and results of the subjective evaluation.
