Speech-driven lip synchronization is a crucial technology for generating realistic facial animations, with broad application prospects in virtual reality, education, training, and other fields. However, existing methods still face challenges in gener...
This exploratory study investigates the usability of performance metrics for generative adversarial network (GAN)-based models for speech-driven facial animation. These models focus on the transfer of speech information from an audio file to a still...
Imagine a future where language is no longer a barrier to real-time conversations, enabling instant and lifelike communication across the globe. As cultural boundaries blur, the demand for seamless multilingual communication has become a critical tec...
Background/Objectives: Parkinson’s disease (PD) affects more than 6 million people worldwide. Its accurate diagnosis and monitoring are key factors to reduce its economic burden. Typical approaches consider either speech signals or video record...
In the field of talking face generation, two-stage audio-based generation methods have attracted significant research interest. However, these methods still face challenges in achieving lip–audio synchronization during face generation, as well...
Audio-driven facial animation is a rapidly evolving field that aims to generate realistic facial expressions and lip movements synchronized with a given audio input. This survey provides a comprehensive review of deep learning techniques applied to a...
This paper extends our previous work on cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) classification, which employed vision transformers (ViTs) and Siamese neural networks. We now integrate SigLIP 2, a state-of-the-art multilingual vision–language model, for...
Background/Objectives: Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is the most common malignancy globally, with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) posing a significant risk of regional metastasis, especially in high-risk anatomical areas such as the head a...
Audio-driven emotional talking face generation aims to generate talking face videos with rich facial expressions and temporal coherence. Current diffusion model-based approaches predominantly depend on either single-label emotion annotations or exter...
At the end of the Middle Permian Guadeloupe series, the Chinese region recorded the only internationally recognized large igneous provincial eruption event, known as the Emeishan LIP. The Yangtze region of South China records a series of short and al...
This study introduces a novel approach for the diagnosis of Cleft Lip and/or Palate (CL/P) by integrating Vision Transformers (ViTs) and Siamese Neural Networks. Our study is the first to employ this integration specifically for CL/P classification,...
This paper describes a multistage framework for face image analysis in computer-aided speech diagnosis and therapy. Multimodal data processing frameworks have become a significant factor in supporting speech disorders’ treatment. Synchronous an...
Virtual Humans are becoming a commodity in computing technology and lately have been utilized in the context of interactive presentations in Virtual Cultural Heritage environments and exhibitions. To this end, this research work underlines the import...
This review highlights oral anomalies with major clinical impact in Addison disease (AD), including dental health and dermatologic features, through a dual perspective: pigmentation issues and AD comorbidities with oral manifestations. Affecting 92%...
Owing to the paucity of research on synchronous mafic rocks in the Tarim Basin, the late Paleozoic–early Mesozoic tectonic development of this region is not well defined. The Halaqi region is situated on Tarim’s northwest edge, and numero...
Background: The advent of virtual reality in psychiatry presents a wealth of opportunities for a variety of psychopathologies. Avatar Interventions are dialogic and experiential treatments integrating personalized medicine with virtual reality (VR),...
