A system, method and apparatus for detecting facial expressions according to EMG signals.

The present invention relates to a joint automatic audio visual driven facial animation system that in some example embodiments includes a full scale state of the art Large Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition (LVCSR) with a strong language model for speech recognition and obtained phoneme alignment from the word lattice.

A distributed systems and methods for generating composite media including receiving a media context that defines media that is to be generated, the media context including: a definition of a sequence of media segment specifications and, an identification of a set of remote devices. For each media segment specification, a reference segment may be generated and transmitted to at least one remote device. A media segment may be received from each of the remote device, the media segment having been recorded by a camera. Verified media sequences may replace the corresponding reference segment. The media segments may be aggregated and an updated sequence of media segments may be defined. An instance of the media context that includes a subset of the updated sequence of media segments may then be generated.

The application provides a virtual object image display method and apparatus, an electronic device and a storage medium, relates to the field of artificial intelligence, in particular to the field of computer vision and deep learning, and may be applied to virtual object dialogue scenarios. The specific implementation scheme includes: segmenting acquired voice to obtain voice segments; predicting lip shape sequence information for the voice segments; searching for a corresponding lip shape image sequence based on the lip shape sequence information; performing lip fusion between the lip shape image sequence and a virtual object baseplate to obtain a virtual object image; displaying the virtual object image. The application improves ability to obtain virtual object image.

This application discloses a method and a device for dialogue with a virtual object, a client end and a storage medium. A specific implementation scheme of the method applied to the client end includes: converting a first voice collected by the client end into a first text content, in a case that the client end is in an offline mode; acquiring a second text content responding to the first text content based on offline natural language processing (NLP) and/or a target database pre-stored by the client end; performing voice synthesis on the second text content to acquire a second voice; simulating a lip shape of the second voice by using the virtual object to acquire a target video in which the virtual object says the second voice; and playing the target video.

A system, method, and computer program are provided for receiving face models based on face nodal points. In use, a real-time face model is received, wherein the real-time face model includes one or more face nodal points. Real-time face nodal points are received, including additional one or more face nodal points. The real-time face model is manipulated based on the real-time face nodal points.

A method for matching mouth shape and movement in digital video to alternative audio includes deriving a sequence of facial poses including mouth shapes for an actor from a source digital video. Each pose in the sequence of facial poses corresponds to a middle position of each audio sample. The method further includes generating an animated face mesh based on the sequence of facial poses and the source digital video, transferring tracked expressions from the animated face mesh or the target video to the source video, and generating a rough output video that includes transfers of the tracked expressions. The method further includes generating a finished video at least in part by refining the rough video using a parametric autoencoder trained on mouth shapes in the animated face mesh or the target video. One or more computers may perform the operations of the method.

A system and method for animated lip synchronization. The method includes: capturing speech input; parsing the speech input into phenomes; aligning the phonemes to the corresponding portions of the speech input; mapping the phonemes to visemes; synchronizing the visemes into viseme action units, the viseme action units comprising jaw and lip contributions for each of the phonemes; and outputting the viseme action units.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and apparatus for generating an animation. A method may include: extracting an audio feature from target speech segment by segment, to aggregate the audio feature into an audio feature sequence composed of an audio feature of each speech segment; inputting the audio feature sequence into a pre-trained mouth-shape information prediction model, to obtain a mouth-shape information sequence corresponding to the audio feature sequence; generating, for mouth-shape information in the mouth-shape information sequence, a face image including a mouth-shape object indicated by the mouth-shape information; and using the generated face image as a key frame of a facial animation, to generate the facial animation.
