- Proposes Speech-Mesh, a specialized representation for talking heads
- Creates new evaluation metrics focused on human perception
- Demonstrates significantly improved audio-visual synchronization
- Provides a comprehensive 3D talking head dataset with annotations
Plain English Explanation
When you watch a digital character speaking in a movie or video game, you expect their lips to match what they're saying. This is harder than it sounds. Current systems that generate 3D talking heads often produce lip movements that don't quite match the speech, making the resu...
