本文提出自动生成动画天气报告，其中虚拟人作为气象预报员，作为自动化电视节目制作的一个例子。我们的原型系统的输入是一组（地点、时间、天气）类型的天气预报数据。然后，系统总结数据，并以语音文本的形式制作天气预报场景，并嵌入命令，其中大部分与虚拟天气预报员的肢体语言有关。从这个命令嵌入的语音文本中，我们的虚拟人演示系统使虚拟人代理充当天气预报员，并在实时3D动画中显示与语音输出同步的天气图。当系统在网络服务器上运行时，按需语音文本生成使我们能够在网络上观看个性化和最新的天气报告。
This paper proposes automatic generation of animated weather reports, where a virtual human performs as a weatherman, as an example of automated TV-like program production. An input to our prototype system is a set of (location,time,weather)-type weather forecast data. The system then summarizes the data and makes a weather report scenario in the form of speech texts with embedded commands, most of which relate to the virtual weatherman's body language. From this command-embedded speech text, our virtual human presenter system makes the virtual human agent act as a weatherman with the weather charts in real-time 3D animation synchronized with speech outputs. When the system runs on a Web server, on-demand speech-text generation enables us to watch personalized and up-to-the-minute weather reports on the Web.
