摘要:
The invention relates to substituting for an original sound track of a motion picture a new sound track in a different language while at the same time correcting the lip movements of actors in the film to correspond to the new language. The method makes use of selected equipment, such as a digital video image processor, a video display, a programmed digital computer, and selected data on aframe- by-frame basis as to mouth location, mouth shape, mouth movements, etc. of the actor on the film and the frame-by-frame photographed mouth area of the new actor supplying the new language sound. The computer cooperates with the image processor to effect the alteration in the lip shapes by varying the intensities of the video pixels in the facial area on the film in accordance with the data and the program in the computer, whereby the new sound track with correct lip movements may be substituted for the original sound track.
摘要:
An apparatus and method that creates visual images of lip movements on film, video tape, or other recorded media. Speech sounds are analyzed, digitally encoded (6) and transmitted to a data memory device (8). Stored within the data memory device (8) is a program for producing output data that creates visual images of lip movements (16) corresponding to the speech sounds. Under control of the data for the speech sounds, the graphical output from the data memory device (8) is sent to a graphic output device and related display equipment (14) to produce the graphical display (16). This display may be combined with the speech sounds so that the resultant audio-visual composite, such as a film strip, contains lip movements corresponding to the speech sounds.
