Estimation of the Extent of Vertical Head Movements from Sound Alone

Author(s):
Roland KILIK, University of Miskolc, Hungary

Abstract:
Human-like agents are becoming more and more common. However, the usefulness of these agents depends to a large extent on the naturalness of their movements. The classification procedure presented in this article aims to increase the naturalness of the head movements of human-like agents. The method is capable of estimating the vertical range of head movement from the speech sound alone, and thus allows a final phase amplitude correction of the generated head movements of virtual talking heads in order to increase naturalness. The advantage of the method, is that it does not require visual information, works for general subjects, its precision and effectiveness can be improved by defining further classes, and it can improve the naturalness of any head movement generation method’s output by a posterior amplitude scaling.
