An interactive talking head
… a novel method for producing a synthetic talking head. The method is based on earlier work in which the behaviour of a synthetic individual is generated by reference to a probabilistic model of interactive beha viour within the visual domain - such models are learnt automatically from …

Lipreading with convolutional and recurrent neural network models
… and to recognize the triphone spoken by a talking head, given only the video using neural network classification models. Two neural network architectures are developed and tested on the AVICAR dataset, including one convolutional neural network (CNN) model with fully connected …

VideoDoc : combining videos and lecture notes for a better learning experience
… time-annotated text transcript and a labeling of talking-head video frames, and an instructor can fine-tune section boundaries and add section titles using an editing interface. Through a user study we found that VideoDoc helped users more easily navigate lecture videos, but some users had trouble …

VEBit: um algorítmo para codificação de vídeo com escalabilidade
… movimentação do mesmo. Por exemplo, no modelo "talking-head", comum em videoconferências, a qualidade se mostrou viável para ambientes de baixa velocidade (56 kbits/s).

A journey to photo-realistic facial animation synthesis
… images as input and generate the corresponding talking head animation as output. Comparison to the previous state-of-the-art method shows that the proposed system in this work achieves better performance.

The influence of video lectures on student engagement in the University of Cape Town's first Massive Open Online Course
… for various video production styles (e.g. talking head, location-based videos, office based videos, visually illustrative videos etc.). Since prior research in this field has been largely quantitative to date and descriptive of behaviour but devoid of meaning, this study took a mixed …

Robust and reliable facial landmark detection under challenging conditions
… technology for many downstream tasks, such as talking head, face editing, facial emotion recognition and face recognition. Despite the recent progress brought by deep learning, there are still many challenges in this field that render the robustness of corresponding algorithms fragile in …

Towards Robust And Practical Neural Video-Conferencing
… alternatives have been proposed that reconstruct talking head videos using sparse representations of each frame such as facial landmark information. However, these approaches produce poor reconstructions in scenarios with major movement or occlusions over the course of a call, and do not scale to …
