A single viseme typically represents a group of phonemes that are visually similar. Often these visemes are based on the static poses used in producing a phoneme. In this paper we investigate alternative representations for visemes, produced using motion-captured data, in conjunction with a constraint-based approach for visual speech production. We show that using visemes which incorporate more contextual information produces better results that using static pose visemes.
