  • Patent number: 10997764
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and apparatus for generating an animation. A method may include: extracting an audio feature from target speech segment by segment, to aggregate the audio feature into an audio feature sequence composed of an audio feature of each speech segment; inputting the audio feature sequence into a pre-trained mouth-shape information prediction model, to obtain a mouth-shape information sequence corresponding to the audio feature sequence; generating, for mouth-shape information in the mouth-shape information sequence, a face image including a mouth-shape object indicated by the mouth-shape information; and using the generated face image as a key frame of a facial animation, to generate the facial animation.
