Body Language Animation Synthesis From Prosody

Body Language Animation Synthesis From Prosody Examples of synthesized animations Sergey Levine This page contains examples of synthesized animations generated with the body language synthesis system described in my thesis "Body Language Animation Synthesis From Prosody". All utterances are from novel speakers, unless indicated otherwise, and all are on subjects that differ from those in the training data.
Conversation Scene

An example of a virtual conversation that is made more compelling with synthesized body language.
Generalization Examples

Each utterance is taken from a different individual, to show the ability of the system to generalize to different speakers.
Emotional Examples

These examples show synthesized animations for a sad and angry utterance, respectively. The same lines are spoken in each utterance, but with different emotional intonation.
Synchronization and Selection

HMM-selected segments with synchronization	Randomly-selected segments with synchronization	HMM-selected segments without synchronization
Sample Survey Videos (Same Speaker)

Original motion capture	Randomly-selected segments	Synthesized sequence
