| Abstract | The objective of this project is to develop an expressive speech facial animation synthesis methodology capable of improving the videorealism of the current state-of-the-art expressive talking heads in terms of the range of the expressed emotional states and the ability of reproducing non-verbal communication signaling, with the ultimate goal of creating animated faces capable of inspiring user thrust and empathy . We aim at applications where intelligent systems are capable of emulating our natural and intuitive face-to-face communication mechanisms in which the talking head act as an embodied conversational agent (ECA), (Figure 1). Objectives that run in parallel are: to obtain a pilot implementation of a Brazilian Portuguese expressive talking head and to contribute with an comprehensive audiovisual expressive speech corpus for this language.
