Emphatic Visual Speech Synthesis [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Audio, Speech, and Language Processing, 2009 The synthesis of talking heads has been a flourishing research area over the last few years. Since human beings have an uncanny ability to read people's faces, most related applications (e.g., advertising, video-teleconferencing) require absolutely realistic photometric and behavioral synthesis of faces.
