Talking face: using facial feature detection and image transformations for visual speech |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
Visual presentation of a talking person requires the generation of image frames showing the speaker in various views while pronouncing various phonemes. The existing approaches, mo stly use either a complex 3D geometric model to reconstruct a desired image or a set of 2D images for each viewpoint, to select from. We propose a new system which utilizes facial feature detection and image-based transformation to create any talking frame using only one given image from desired viewpoint and a set of reference images from one standard view. The proposed approach, together with optical flow-based view morphing and a customizable concatenative Text -To- Speech, makes a personalized visual speech generation system which can be used for moving/talking head applications where an optimal trade-of between computational complexity and image database requirements is necessary. |
