Abstract In this paper we present an algorithm for automatically cloning a speaking human face for virtual reality applications and virtual worlds buildings. A person trains the algorithm by speaking; the algorithm learns the articulatory movements and generates synthetic speech which sounds somehow similar to the speech of the person who trained the system. Modeling the nonlinear linkage between articulatory movements and facial movements with a neural network, the algorithm generates the facial movements, synchronized with the artificial utterance, which would have been used during the generation of the utterance by a human being. Our algorithm is inspired to the mirror neuron theory of speech production, and learns the articulatory movements using a genetic optimization algorithm and a set of fuzzy rules. The algorithm reproduces an original utterance minimizing the mean squared error between synthetic and original utterances. Subjective listening tests of sentences artificially generated with our model resulted in an average phonetic accuracy of about 84%, and the naturalness of the generated face movements has been estimated with a score of 82%. Experimental results and a case study are reported.

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)
NDLI logo

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
