The rich signals we extract from facial expressions imposes high expectations for the
science and art of facial animation. While the advent of high-resolution performance capture …

We introduce a long short-term memory recurrent neural network (LSTM-RNN) approach for
real-time facial animation, which automatically estimates head rotation and facial action unit …

We present a deep learning framework for real-time speech-driven 3D facial animation from
speech audio. Our deep neural network directly maps an input sequence of speech …

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 …

We propose an end to end deep learning approach for generating real-time facial animation
from just audio. Specifically, our deep architecture employs deep bidirectional long short …

Adventure role playing games (RPGs) provide players with increasingly expansive worlds,
compelling storylines, and meaningful fictional character interactions. Despite the fast …

In this paper, we present an efficient algorithm that generates lip-synchronized facial
animation from a given vocal audio clip. By combining spectral-dimensional bidirectional …

Virtual characters are an integral part of many games and virtual worlds. The ability to
accurately synchronize lip movement to audio speech is an important aspect in the …

Singing and speaking are two fundamental forms of human communication. From a
modeling perspective however, speaking can be seen as a subset of singing. We present …
