METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ANIMATING AN AVATAR IN REAL TIME USING THE VOICE OF A SPEAKER

摘要

This is a method and a system for animating on a screen (3, 3', 3'') of a mobile apparatus (4, 4', 4'') an avatar (2, 2', 2'') furnished with a mouth (5, 5') using an input sound signal (6) corresponding to the voice (7) of a speaker (8) having a telephone communication. The input sound signal is transformed in real time into an audio and video stream in which the movements of the mouth of the avatar are synchronized with the phonemes detected in said input sound signal, and the avatar is animated in a manner consistent with said signal by changes of posture and movements by analysing said signal, so that the avatar seems to talk in real time or substantially in real time instead of the speaker.
