PDF | Background This chapter is dedicated to Christian Benoît, who almost single-handedly established visible speech as an important domain of research.

We describe recent progress we have made in facial animation and visible speech synthesis. We have added new internal structures (three-dimensional teeth, ...

May 22, 2015 · We hope that this book provides a legacy for Christian's family and friends, and helps maintain a memory of his personal and professional value.

One goal of our research agenda is to create animated agents that produce accurate auditory and visible speech, as well as realistic facial expressions, ...

Mar 17, 2022 · Speech-driven 3D facial animation has become an in- creasingly attractive research area in both academia and in- dustry. It is potentially ...

Sep 23, 2020 · We present an innovative methodology using 3D virtual characters with realistic lip movements synchronized on computer-synthesized speech.

May 23, 2024 · This paper proposes a dual-modal generation method that uses speech and video information to generate more natural and vivid 3D facial animation.

Sep 11, 2024 · We present a novel approach for synthesizing 3D facial motions from audio sequences using key motion embeddings.

Jul 19, 2024 · In this paper, we propose DiffPoseTalk, a generative framework based on the diffusion model combined with a style encoder that extracts style embeddings from ...

May 14, 2024 · Our method overcomes the inability of existing diffusion models that cannot be directly transferred to speech-driven expression animation.
