The lip is a dominant dynamic facial unit when a person is speaking. Detecting lip events is beneficial to speech analysis and support for the hearing impaired. This paper proposes a 3D lip event detection pipeline that automatically determines the lip events from a 3D speaking lip sequence. We define a motion…

Chapped lips, characterized by drying and cracking, remain a prevalent concern. Identifying the root causes of lip chapping is crucial for developing effective treatments. We examined the lateral packing structure of intercellular lipids (ICL) in the lip stratum corneum (SC) by low-flux electron diffraction (LFED) to…

Speech is an intrinsically multisensory signal and seeing the speaker’s lips forms a cornerstone of communication in acoustically impoverished environments. Still, it remains unclear how the brain exploits visual speech for comprehension and previous work debated whether lip signals are mainly processed along the…

1## Introduction While there exists a heavy focus on lip cosmetics, there is currently a lack of research into the health of the lips. Even though the lips are involved in dermatoses such as actinic cheilitis, lip photoaging, and oral lichen planus, there remains no consensus on the features of the lip which are…

4## DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION The lips constitute a significant facial feature that greatly influences an individual's facial aesthetics. Consequently, understanding the aging characteristics specific to the lips becomes a necessary endeavor. However, to our knowledge, comprehensive studies on lip aging using…

The challenge of talking face generation from speech lies in aligning two different modal information, audio and video, such that the mouth region corresponds to input audio. Previous methods either exploit audio-visual representation learning or leverage intermediate structural information such as landmarks and 3D…

Introduction Lip prints are the characteristic pattern of wrinkles and grooves on the labial mucosa. Lip prints can be classified into various patterns and can be used for personal identification as they are unique and do not change during the life of a person. Cheiloscopy is a forensic investigation technique that…

'Arundeep K Lamba' 'Shruti Tandon' 'Sachin Dhingra'] Congenital double lip is a rare clinical finding that is more common in the upper lip, but the lower lip can also be involved in a few cases. It has no gender predilection, and its incidence rate is yet unknown. It can be classified into two types: congenital or…

'Esther Hernandez-Pachecho' 'Gonzalo Ruiz-de-Leon-Hernandez' 'Maria Angeles Serrera-Figallo' 'Jose Luis Gutierrez-Perez' 'María Baus-Dominguez'] Background Cheiloscopy, as a method of forensic identification, maintains its currency in legal and forensic dentistry. The increase in aesthetic lip filler treatments could…

Talking face generation is the challenging task of synthesizing a natural and realistic face that requires accurate synchronization with a given audio. Due to co-articulation, where an isolated phone is influenced by the preceding or following phones, the articulation of a phone varies upon the phonetic context.…

Background: Direct digital photography for lip print recording is a recent trend, and there is a dearth of systematic research on the analysis of the recorded prints with existing clip print classification systems. Aims and objectives: This study aims to compare the accuracy of the digital photographic method in lip…

'Hiroshi Churei' 'Akira Nishiyama' 'Toshiaki Ueno' 'Yuka I. Sumita'] Introduction Wind instrument players sometimes suffer from erosion of the mucous membrane of the lip. This is caused by the action and pressure of the mouthpiece of the wind instrument against teeth. To address this problem, a lip shield is fitted…

Observing lip movements of a speaker is known to facilitate speech understanding, especially in challenging listening situations. Converging evidence from neuroscientific studies shows enhanced processing of audiovisual stimuli. However, the interindividual variability of this visual benefit and its consequences on…

As multi-sensory beings, humans have the ability to experience the world through various senses, adapting to make the most of what we perceive. When one sense is diminished, like hearing, the brain compensates by relying more on other senses, like vision, to maintain independence and navigate the environment. One of…

Regularization Authors: ['Linzhi Wu' 'Xingyu Zhang' 'Yakun Zhang' 'Changyan Zheng' 'Tiejun Liu' 'Liang Xie' 'Yan Ye' 'Erwei Yin'] Lip reading, the process of interpreting silent speech from visual lip movements, has gained rising attention for its wide range of realistic applications. Deep learning approaches greatly…

—Audio-driven lip sync has recently drawn significant attention due to its widespread application in the multimedia domain. Individuals exhibit distinct lip shapes when speaking the same utterance, attributed to the unique speaking styles of individuals, posing a notable challenge for audio-driven lip sync. Earlier…

Many studies infer the role of neurons by asking what information can be decoded from their activity or by observing the consequences of perturbing their activity. An alternative approach is to consider information flow between neurons. We applied this approach to the Parietal Reach Region (PRR) and the Lateral…

For many deaf people, lip-reading plays a major role in verbal communication. However, lip movements are by nature ambiguous, so that lip reading does not allow for a full understanding of speech. The resulting language access difficulties may have serious consequences on language, cognitive and social development.…

pH plays versatile roles in both biology and chemistry. For instance, pH can regulate the long-range electron transfer (ET) in many proteins. However, the mechanistic basis of many pH-dependent long-range ET processes remain unclear. In this study, we unravel the critical role of pH in accelerating the long-range ET in…

Using the CHARMM36 lipid force field, this investigation employs atomistic molecular dynamics simulation to examine how variations in phosphatidylcholine (PC) lipid composition in murine splenic cancer cells affect membrane properties. While cancer-related alterations in membrane lipid composition are well-established…

The solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) is crucial to the electrochemical performance of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). Theoretical characterization of SEI properties will help understand the origin of interfacial stability (and instability) between solid electrolytes and electrodes. Among solid electrolytes for…
