- Abstract
- In this paper, we propose a novel approach to create a speech animation with emotional expressions using a small set of example models. To generate realistic facial animation, two example models called key visemes and expressions are used for lip-synchronization and facial expressions, respectively. Based on a phonetic transcript generated by a text-to-speech (TTS) system, a sequence of facial animation is synthesized by blending the corresponding sequence of key example models. The proposed approach can be applied to diverse digital contents and applications that use facial animation.
