SFAVD: Sharif Farsi audio visual database

With increasing use of computers in everyday life, improved communication between machines and human is needed. To make a right communication and understand a humankind face which is made in a graphical environment, implementing the audio and visual projects like lip reading, audio and visual speech recognition and lip making are needed. Lack of a complete audio and visual database for this application in Farsi language made us provide a new complete Farsi database for this project that is called SFAVD. It is a unique audio and visual database which in addition to considering Farsi conceptual and speech structure, it considers influence of speech on lip changes. This database is created for the main goal of natural and humankind representation of strings of lip movements for Farsi language. SFAVD covers most applicable words, all phones, diaphones and common syllables in sentences.
