Reading Lips In Software

Posted by timothy on from the hey-cutie dept.

SEWilco writes "The Register points out that Intel has released code for reading lips from a video image, Audio Visual Speech Recognition (AVSR). They do point out that better results would probably be achieved by combining video and audio recognition processing. I don't know if they have any patents, we all know some prior "art" from 2001, er.. 1968. HAL's accomplishment was also mentioned by CNN during 2001 in an article about this group's work."

    Maybe now with a cluster at our finger tips and this sound visual lip analyser thing, we may be able to (finally) understand what all those foreign heavy accented professors are actually mumbling about...

    And well, beats manual note taking if the computer can read the board and his mouth and his voice.
