Establishing how head and face movement properties contribute to the perception of speech and identity

提出的研究提供了一个广泛的研究计划，视听语音处理和人识别：面对面交流的关键组成部分。该项目可能产生的影响和好处涉及其对感知理论（连接信号、大脑和行为）的贡献及其实际意义：通过评估AV语音特征的独特性和持久性来确定多模态生物识别程序的可行性。开发一种视觉配音技术，这种技术有可能在嘈杂的环境中（和聋人）进行交流，并开发一种可变形的AV演示模型，该模型可用于第一语言和第二语言学习。

The proposed studies provide an extensive research program into audio-visual speech processing and person identification: key components of face-to-face communication. The likely impact and benefits of the project concern its contribution to perceptual theory (linking signal, brain and behaviour) and its practical implications: For determining the viability of multimodal biometric identification procedures by assessing the distinctiveness and permanence of AV speech characteristics. In the development of a visual dubbing technique that has potential for communication in noisy environments (and for the deaf) and for the development of a morphable model for AV presentation that has application for both first and second language learning.
