Abstract :
We consider the problem of making lip movement for an animated talking character, which consumes workload and cost during the animation development process. The main idea is to extract and capture a vise me from the video of a human talking and the phonemic scripts inside this video. After that, we generate a talking head animation video by synchronizing a time-stamped of each phoneme to concatenated visemes. The results of experimental tests are reported, indicating good accuracy.
