Computerized Lip-Reading System In The Works
Posted on Jan 18, 08 04:25 AM PDT
A bunch of researchers at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in the UK are currently working on a computerized lip-reading system which could potentially be used to fight crime when perfected. One of the main obstacles would be to come up with a precise and sufficient database of photographs as well as videos to form a reliable basis for their lip-reading software. It is hoped that sometime down the road, they will be able to construct machines that are capable of converting lip-motion videos into text automatically. In addition, the researchers have plans to extend the silent speech-recognition system to other languages.
