Abstract(in English) A facial image synthesis to generate a facial expression and conversation scenes is proceeding as the basic research to realize intelligent human interface or communication system. The communication with a virtual personized agent requires a real-time image synthesis and natural motion synthesis as well as synchronization between face image and voice to acheive a virtual face-to-face communication. This paper presents a real-time media conversion system to realize a high quality mouth shape control based on a captured voice signal at video rate. Moreover using this real-time media conversion technique, the system realizing communication between a virtual personized agent and a user in display is mentioned. Finally, to realize the interactive communication between the virtual personized agent and the user, analysis and synthesis of emotion speech is also mentioned.
