The computer graphics and vision communities have dedicated long standing efforts in
building computerized tools for reconstructing, tracking, and analyzing human faces based …

We live in a world where there are countless interactions with computer systems in every-
day situations. In the most ideal case, this interaction feels as familiar and as natural as the …

We built an anatomically accurate model of facial musculature, passive tissue and
underlying skeletal structure using volumetric data acquired from a living male subject. The …

Advances in technology have enabled animators and video game designers to design
increasingly realistic, human-like characters in animation and games. Although it was …

In many countries, foreign movies and TV productions are dubbed, ie, the original voice of
an actor is replaced with a translation that is spoken by a dubbing actor in the country's own …

We present a new method for generating a dynamic, concatenative, unit of visual speech
that can generate realistic visual speech animation. We redefine visemes as temporal units …

Animating 3D faces to achieve compelling realism is a challenging task in the entertainment
industry. Previously proposed face transfer approaches generally require a high-quality …

We demonstrate a lip animation (lip sync) algorithm for real-time applications that can be
used to generate synchronized facial movements with audio generated from natural speech …

Synthesizing expressive facial animation is a very challenging topic within the graphics
community. In this paper, we present an expressive facial animation synthesis system …

We present a physically based system for creating animations of novel words and phrases
from text and audio input based on the analysis of motion captured speech examples …
