Abstract
Although humans rely primarily on hearing to process speech, they
can also extract a great deal of information with their eyes through
lipreading. This skill becomes extremely important when the acoustic
signal is degraded by noise. It would, therefore, be beneficial to find
methods to reinforce acoustic speech with a synthesized visual signal
for high noise environments. This paper addresses the interaction
between acoustic speech and visible speech. Algorithms for converting
audible speech into visible speech are examined, and applications which
can utilize this conversion process are presented. Our results
demonstrate that it is possible to animate a natural-looking talking
head using acoustic speech as an input
