Abstract
Most of the prior art references that generate animations fail to determine and consider head movement data. The prior art references which consider the head movement data for generating the animations rely on a sample video to generate/determine the head movements data, which, as a result, fail to capture changing head motions throughout course of a speech given by a subject in an actual whole length video. The disclosure herein generally relates to generating facial animations, and, more particularly, to a method and system for generating the facial animations from speech signal of a subject. The system determines the head movement, lip movements, and eyeball movements, of the subject, by processing a speech signal collected as input, and uses the head movement, lip movements, and eyeball movements, to generate an animation.
