3-D Human Face Modeling and Animation for Lip Reading

This project was supported by TUBITAK. It lasted for 12 months and was successfully completed in 2004. The project budget was $750K. The outcome of this project was a collection of new techniques and tools for automatic lip and expression animation of talking virtual characters. Combined with our facial and body modeling and animation techniques, the technology developed for this project was used in a novel 3-D animation series product. The series called Adile Teyze ve Kuzucuklar appeared on a major national TV in Turkey during 2006-2007.
