N2 - This paper describes a 2D realistic talking face. The facial appearance model is constructed with a parameterised 2D sample based model. This representation supports moderated head movements, facial gestures and emotional expressions. Two main contributions for talking heads applications are proposed. First, the image of the lips is synthesized by means of shape and texture information. Secondly, a nearly automated training process makes the talking face personalization easier, due to the use of mouth tracking. Additionally, lips are synchronized in real time with speech that is generated using a SAPI compliant text-to-speech engine.
