Description

Natural looking lip animation, synchronized with incoming speech, is essential for realistic character animation. In this work, we evaluate the performance of phone and viseme based acoustic units, with and without context information, for generating realistic lip synchronization using HMM based recognition systems. We conclude via objective evaluations that utilization of viseme based units with context information outperforms the other methods.
