摘要: We present a system for automated animation of text or voice messages suitable for Ambient Assisted Living user interfaces. Input to the system can be text, a prerecorded speech file, or the speech signal captured directly from the microphone. Speech animation parameters are calculated by a co-articulation model either for the voice audio or - if available - from the phone chain extracted from the Text-To-Speech processing step in case of text input. An animation script that layers body movements and speech animation is generated. This script is rendered and converted into an h.264 video by a computer game engine. The system is developed to be used in care services for elderly users within a European research project.
