Synthesis of fricative consonants by audiovisual-to-articulatory inversion

Khaled Mawass, Pierre Badin, Gérard Bailly

We present here results of audio-visual to articulatory inversion for French fricatives embedded into VCVs. The inversion technique is evaluated using both experimental and synthetic data. The final synthesis is assessed by a perceptual categorisation test. Synthetic stimuli have similar scores as natural ones.
