Lip Reading Into Text Using Deep Learning

An essential part of computer vision, lip reading, has grown significantly and is now used in autonomous driving, public safety, and hearing-impaired communication. This work provides an in-depth analysis of both conventional and deep learning-based lip reading systems, examining their development over time, difficulties encountered, and critical role in human communication. The suggested LipNet model, which leverages the complementary abilities of Long Short-Term Memory networks (LSTMs) for temporal modelling and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for spatial feature extraction, is a central focus of this research. When LipNet is tested using the GRID Corpus dataset, it outperforms baseline models in terms of performance. Saliency maps and viseme analysis highlight LipNet's ability to capture phonologically relevant areas in lip motions, providing insight into the network's attention processes. Apart from examining the importance of datasets such as OuluVs2and GRID Corpus, this study presents GhostNet, a lightweight model that tackles the requirement for effective network designs. The testing results highlight LipNet's competitive Character Error Rate (CER) and Word Error Rate (WER) in comparison to baseline models, proving that it is the best method for real-world use. The research ends with a summary of potential future developments in lip reading technology, such as modal integration, realtime applications, personalisation, ethical issues, and the goal of creating a communication environment that is more inclusive. This study highlights the effectiveness of LipNet and paves the way for future developments in the ever-evolving area of lip reading by examining a variety of methodologies.
