Abstract
There is disclosed a system and method for training a set of expression and neutral convolutional neural networks using a single performance mapped to a set of known phonemes and visemes in the form predetermined sentences and facial expressions. Then, subsequent training of the convolutional neural networks can occur using temporal data derived from audio data within the original performance mapped to a set of professionally-created three dimensional animations. Thereafter, with sufficient training, the expression and neutral convolutional neural networks can generate facial animations from facial image data in real-time without individual specific training.
