With increasing use of computers in everyday life, improved communication between machines and human is needed. To make a right communication and understand a humankind face which is made in a graphical environment, implementing the audio and visual projects like lip reading, audio and visual speech recognition and lip making are needed. Lack of a complete audio and visual database for this application in Farsi language made us provide a new complete Farsi database for this project that is called SFAVD. It is a unique audio and visual database which in addition to considering Farsi conceptual and speech structure, it considers influence of speech on lip changes. This database is created for... 

With the growing presence of computers in everyday life, communication improvement between human and machines is inevitable. Talking faces are the faces whose movements are synchronized to speech. They have an effective role in many applications. Lip is the most important part of a talking face. The main goal of this project is implementing a natural and human-like lip movement synthesis system for the Farsi language. For this purpose, a comprehensive audio visual database called SFAVD1 was designed and used. After extracting the sufficient features and designing a parallel Hidden Markov Model, the speech driven lip movement sequence generator system for Farsi input speech was implemented....
