Active Shape Models for Visual Speech Feature Extraction

1996
Book Chapters

Abstract

Most approaches for lip modelling are based on heuristic constraints imposed by the user. We describe the use of Active Shape Models for extracting visual speech features for use by automatic speechreading systems, where the deformation of the lip model as well as image search is based on a priori knowledge learned from a training set. We demonstrate the robustness and accuracy of the technique for locating and tracking lips on a database consisting of a broad variety of talkers and lighting conditions.

Database

In computing, a database is an organized collection of data (also known as a data store) stored and accessed electronically through the use of a database management system. Small databases can be stored on a , while large databases are hosted on computer clusters or cloud storage. The design of databases spans formal techniques and practical considerations, including data modeling, efficient data representation and storage, query languages, security and privacy of sensitive data, and distributed computing issues, including supporting concurrent access and fault tolerance.

Database model

A database model is a type of data model that determines the logical structure of a database. It fundamentally determines in which manner data can be stored, organized and manipulated. The most popular example of a database model is the relational model, which uses a table-based format. Common logical data models for databases include: Hierarchical database model This is the oldest form of database model. It was developed by IBM for IMS (information Management System), and is a set of organized data in tree structure.

Database design

Database design is the organization of data according to a database model. The designer determines what data must be stored and how the data elements interrelate. With this information, they can begin to fit the data to the database model. A database management system manages the data accordingly. Database design involves classifying data and identifying interrelationships. This theoretical representation of the data is called an ontology. The ontology is the theory behind the database's design.
