  • Abstract
    This paper describes a prototype model-based codec capable of encoding head-and-torso imagery, which shows potential as a communication aid for the deaf. It allows facial motion to be transferred sufficiently accurately that lip-reading may be supported at data rates well under 64 kbits/s
