Zusammenfassung

The importance of modeling speech articulation for high-quality audiovisual (AV) speech synthesis is widely acknowledged. Nevertheless, while state-of-the-art, data-driven approaches to facial animation can make use of sophisticated motion capture techniques, the animation of the intraoral articulators (viz. the tongue, jaw, and velum) typically makes use of simple rules or viseme morphing, in stark contrast to the otherwise high quality of facial modeling. Using appropriate speech production data could significantly improve the quality of articulatory animation for AV synthesis.
