Abstract. How to create effective body animations for virtual agents with emotions remains the state of the art for human animators and a great challenge for computer scientists. I...
An efficient speech synthesis method that uses subspace constraint in prosody is proposed. Conventional unit selection methods concatenate speech segments stored in database, tha...
Most face recognition approaches either assume constant lighting condition or standard facial expressions, thus cannot deal with both kinds of variations simultaneously. This prob...
—An expression can be approximated by a sequence of temporal segments called neutral, onset, offset and apex. However, it is not easy to accurately detect such temporal segments ...
The demo will show two highly expressive virtual agents introducing the audience to a traditional Japanese room. The agent models and gestures have been created by a professional ...
