Thai Speech-Driven Facial Animation

Abstract

We consider the problem of making lip movement for an animated talking character, which consumes workload and cost during the animation development process. The main idea is to extract and capture a vise me from the video of a human talking and the phonemic scripts inside this video. After that, we generate a talking head animation video by synchronizing a time-stamped of each phoneme to concatenated visemes. The results of experimental tests are reported, indicating good accuracy.
