A survey on computer vision based human analysis in the COVID-19 era

Published in Image and Vision Computing, 2022

The goal of this survey is to provide an introduction to the problems induced by COVID-19 into such research and to present a comprehensive review of the work done in the computer vision based human analysis field. Particular attention is paid to the impact of facial masks on the performance of various methods and recent solutions to mitigate this problem.

Face-Dubbing++: Lip-synchronous, voice preserving translation of videos

Published in 2023 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing Workshops (ICASSPW), 2023

In this paper, we propose a neural end-to-end system for voice preserving and lip-synchronous video translation. The system is designed to combine multiple component models and produces a video of the original speaker speaking in the target language that is lip-synchronous with the target speech, yet maintains emphases in speech, voice characteristics, and face video of the original speaker. The result is a video of a speaker speaking in another language without actually knowing it.
