| Research Abstract |
It is important to transmit talker's mind including emotion for developing advanced communication system. Because not only speech signal itself but also moving image of talkers face includes rich information to understand what talker wants to tell, these information should be transmit accurately to the listeners. However, the relationship between the physical parameter extracted from audio-visual speech signal and /kansei/ information is unclear.
The final goal of this study is to develop high-definition audio-visual speech communication systems. To do this, the effect of moving image of talker's face to speech understanding was investigated. The results of psychophysical experiments indicate that around the lips area is crucial to understand what talker says. Moreover, /kansei/ impression from audio-visual speech signal is also important for speech understanding.
