Title: Progress in animation of an EMA-controlled tongue model for acoustic-visual speech synthesis
Authors: Ingmar Steiner, Slim Ouni
Abstract:
We present a technique for the animation of a 3D kinematic tongue
model, one component of the talking head of an acoustic-visual (AV) speech synthesizer.
The skeletal animation approach is adapted to make use of a deformable
rig controlled by tongue motion capture data obtained with electromagnetic articulography
(EMA), while the tongue surface is extracted from volumetric magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) data. Initial results are shown and future work outlined.
