| Abstract(in English) | Facial caricatures emphasize the individual facial features and describe them compactly. For facial caricatures, it is possible to employ more flexible representation of shape and motion than for real facial images. This paper proposes a method to synthesize animated facial caricatures with smooth changes in mouth shapes corresponding to speech, even if mouth shape features are emphasized. Width and opening of mouth, thickness of lips are adjusted by Fuzzy theory according to the degree of feature emphasis for mouth shape. Input speech is segmented into phonemes. Mouth shapes for consecutive phonemes are interpolated to generate smooth mouth shape changes in animated facial caricature. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method. |
