Hi,


I'm doing my PhD in speech driven facial animation and would like to
hear from anyone else working in the area. My main interest is in the
speech recognition area, realtime recognition of speech units (eg.
phonemes) rather than word comprehension. 

If anyone knows of any useful references, leads or keywords for
searches, I'd be glad to hear from you.

For anyone interested in facial animation, I have some information in 
my ftp area. There is also some info on morphing, for those who
haven't found it yet.


Thanks in advance,

------------------------README file-----------------------------

	1) my thesis on Facial Animation (helpful for anyone 
				looking for references in the area) 

	2) A model of half a face, data points and topology.

	3) my report on Morphing (an introduction to morphing) 

	4) responses to my questions about morphing.

	5) the results of a survey I did on user interfaces. 

	6) the survey responses.

	7) a technical report by Steve Franks at SONY on facial
		animation.

You can do whatever you like with them. Let me know what you think, 
constructive criticism will be greatly appreciated.
