Abstract(in English) A technology to recognize speech content from lip motion is called visual speech recognition (VSR). VSRis an important communication method for people who have a handicap with hearing or speaking. In this paper, wepropose a sparse-coding-based voice conversion method using lip motion without text information. Lip information and voices are extracted from videos, where they are used to construct lip dictionary and voice dictionary. Input lip information is represented by a linear combination of a small number of bases in the lip dictionary. The bases are replaced to coordinate bases in the voice dictionary, and they are recomposed to voice information. In this paper, we conducted vowel conversion because vowels are able to recognize from lip information.
