Abstract

Since audio speech recognition is affected by noise in real environment, visual speech recognition is used to support speech recognition. For the visual speech recognition, this paper suggests the extraction of lip-feature using two types of image segmentation and reduced ASM. Input images are transformed to YCbCr based images and lips are segmented using the contrast of Y/Cb/Cr between lip and face. Subsequently, lip-shape model trained by PCA is placed on segmented lip region and then lip features are extracted using ASM.
