Pose-invariant visual speech recognition using a single view input

Abstract:

A pose-invariant visual speech recognition system obtains a single view input of a speaker, such as a single video stream captured by a single camera. The single view input provides a particular pose of the speaker, which refers to a view angle, relative to the lens or image capture component of the camera that captured the video of the speaker, at which the speaker's face is captured. The pose of the speaker is used to select a visual speech recognition model to use to generate a text label that is the words spoken by the speaker. One or more additional view angles of the speaker are also generated from the single view input of the speaker. These one or more additional view angles, along with the single view input of the speaker, are used by the selected visual speech recognition model to generate the text label for the speaker.
