Accurate facial displays are necessary to convey perceptual speech characteristics in avatar animations. Recently, data-driven methods using computer vision have been used to infer the relationship between facial movements and speech. We investigated the relationship between different speech volume levels and facial movements using blendshape-based tracking, which can be applied more directly and easily to an avatar animation. We found differences in facial movement around the nose, cheek, mouth, and head pitch at different speech volume levels, suggesting these are essential parts of the animation. We also present our experimental protocol for collecting speech audio, facial video, and blendshape-based facial movement data, as well as a WEB-based tool to support data collection and synchronization. In addition to this collection tool, we also provide a database of six Japanese participants reading emotion-related scripts at different volume levels. |
