An Extraction Method of Lip Movement Images from Successive Image Frames in the Speech Activity Extraction Process
Abstract
In this paper, we propose an extraction method of
lip movement images from successive image frames and present the
possibility to utilize lip movement images in the speech activity
extraction process of speech recognition phase. The image frames are
acquired from the PC image camera with the assumption that facial
movement is limited during talking. First of all, one new lip movement
image frame is generated with comparing two successive image frames each
other. Second, the fine image noises are removed. Each fitness rate is
calculated by comparing the lip feature data as objectly separated
images. It is analyzed whether or not there is the lip movement image
through verification to the objects and three images which have higher
rates in their fitnesses. As a result of linking the speech & image
processing system, the interworking rate shows 99.3% even in the various
illumination environments. It was visually confirmed that lip movement
images are tracked and can be utilized in speech activity extraction
process.
