    Abstract

    In this paper, we describe an approach for an animated speaking
    face synthesis and its application in modeling impostor/replay
    attack scenarios for face-voice based speaker verification
    systems. The speaking face reported here learns the spatiotemporal
    relationship between speech acoustics and MPEG4
    compliant facial animation points. The influence of articulatory,
    perceptual, and prosodic acoustic features along with auditory
    context on prediction accuracy was examined. The results are
    indicative of vulnerability of audiovisual identity verification
    systems to impostor/replay attacks using synthetic faces. The
    level of vulnerability depends on several factors, such as the
    type of audiovisual features, the fusion techniques used for the
    audio and video features and their relative robustness. Also, the
    success of the synthetic impostor depends on the type of coarticulation
    models and acoustic features used for the
    audiovisual mapping of speaking face synthesis.
