Description & Coverage
Description:

The unique research area of audio-visual speech recognition has attracted much interest in recent years as visual information about lip dynamics has been shown to improve the performance of automatic speech recognition systems, especially in noisy environments.

Visual Speech Recognition: Lip Segmentation and Mapping presents an up-to-date account of research done in the areas of lip segmentation, visual speech recognition, and speaker identification and verification. A useful reference for researchers working in this field, this book contains the latest research results from renowned experts with in-depth discussion on topics such as visual speaker authentication, lip modeling, and systematic evaluation of lip features.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Audio-visual speaker recognition
  • Biometric person recognition
  • Discriminative lip motion features
  • Face and body animation standard
  • Gesture coding
  • Hidden markov model
  • Lip analysis systems
  • Lip contour extraction from video sequences
  • Lip feature extraction
  • Lip modeling and segmentation
  • Lip region segmentation
  • Multimodal speaker identification
  • Optical phonetics
  • Speech and speaker recognition
  • Synthetic speech
  • Visual speech processing and recognition
  • Visual-only speech recognition
Reviews & Statements
