Abstract:
Creation of Speaking animation for CG characters needs to synchronously control various factors, such as lips, facial expression, head-movement, gestures, and so on. Lip movement helps a listener to understand speech. In addition, facial expression, head movement, and gestures help to make emotions understandable. There have been many studies that focused on automatic lip animation.
