Abstract

A method for training a three-dimensional model face animation model from speech, is provided. The method includes determining a first correlation value for a facial feature based on an audio waveform from a first subject, generating a first mesh for a lower portion of a human face, based on the facial feature and the first correlation value, updating the first correlation value when a difference between the first mesh and a ground truth image of the first subject is greater than a pre-selected threshold, and providing a three-dimensional model of the human face animated by speech to an immersive reality application accessed by a client device based on the difference between the first mesh and the ground truth image of the first subject. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions to cause a system to perform the above method, and the system, are also provided.
