唇读(Lip Reading),也称视觉语音识别(Visual Speech Recognition),通过说话者口
型变化信息推断其所说的内容,旨在利用视觉信道信息补充听觉信道信息,在现实生活中有重要应用。例如,应用在医疗领域辅助听力受损的病人提高沟通交流能力,在军事领域提高情报获取和处理能力,在多媒体领域提高人机交互的多样性和鲁棒性等。随着深度学习技术的发展,以及数据集规模的不断完善,基于深度学习的框架方法已经逐渐取代传统方法,成为唇读的主流方法。
1 LRW数据集
1.1 数据集介绍
LRW 数据集是由牛津大学视觉几何团队于2016 年提出。因深度学习的兴起,大规模数据集的需求越来越大,LRW 数据集应运而生。不同于以往数据集,LRW 数据集数据来源于 BBC 广播电视节目而不是由志愿者或实验人员录制,使得该数据集数据量有了质的飞跃。数据集选择了 500最常出现的单词,截取说话人说这些单词的镜头,因此说话人超过 1000 个,话语实例超过 550000万个,一定程度上满足了深度学习对于数据量的需求。
该数据集由多达1000个包含500个不同单词的话语组成,由数百个不同的说话者说出。所有视频长度为29帧(1.16秒),单词出现在视频的中间。元数据中给出了单词duration,从中可以确定开始和结束帧。数据集统计信息如下表所示。
包含视频和元数据的软件包可供非商业学术研究使用。您需要与BBC研发部门签署一份数据共享协议才能访问。下载协议副本请到BBC野外唇读和野外数据集页唇读句子。一旦批准,您将被提供一个密码,然后包可以下载下面。

1.3 数据处理
LRW数据集经过人脸定位和预裁切,嘴唇区域位于视频正中心,一般会再次中心裁切出一个96×96的区域,转换为灰度图,npz存储或pkl存储均可。LRW提供每一个样本的属性,记录在对应的txt文件中,有用的是最后一行duration属性,可依据此推断出word boundary,可参考以下代码:
def load_duration(self, file):with open(file, 'r') as f:lines = f.readlines()for line in lines:if line.find('Duration') != -1:duration = float(line.split(' ')[1])tensor = np.zeros(29)mid = 29 / 2start = int(mid - duration / 2 * 25)end = int(mid + duration / 2 * 25)tensor[start:end] = 1.0return tensor
2 LRW-1000 数据集
2.1 数据集介绍
LRW-1000 数据集是由中科院计算所、中国科学院大学和华中科技大学团队于 2018 年提出,旨在建立一个在室外环境下并且图像尺寸不一的大规模基准。该数据集涵盖了不同语音模式和成像条件下的自然变化,以应对实际应用中遇到的挑战。该数据集来源于中文电视节目,包含 1000 个类,每一个类对应由一个或几个汉字组成的汉语单词。该数据集是规模最大的中文单词唇读数据集,截取的镜头包括超过2000个说话人,将近 720000 个话语实例。该数据集数据的丰富性保证了深度学习模型得到充分的训练。同时,该数据集也是唯一一个公开的中文普通话唇读数据集。
LRW-1000是一个自然分布的大规模基准测试,用于在野外进行单词级别的语音阅读,包括1000个类和大约718,018个视频样本,这些样本来自2000多个个体演讲者。总共有100多万个汉字实例。每一类对应一个由一个或几个汉字组成的汉语单词的音节。此数据集的目的是涵盖不同语音模式和成像条件的自然变化,以结合在实际应用中遇到的挑战。在各个类别的样本数量、视频分辨率、光照条件以及说话人的姿态、年龄、性别、化妆等属性上都有很大的变化,如图1和图2所示。
1000000汉字的实例
718,018个样本,平均每个类有718个样本
1000个类,每个类对应一个普通话单词的音节
2000多名不同的说话人,覆盖说话方式,包括语速、视点、年龄、性别、化妆等
3.评估协议
我们为实验提供了两个评价指标。A).由于这是一个分类任务,因此对所有1000个类的识别精度自然被视为基本度量。B).由于数据在许多方面表现出很大的多样性,例如每个类的样本数量,我们也提供了Kappa系数作为第二个评价指标。
数据集发布公告
实验室近日发布目前最大规模的中文词级唇读数据集LRW-1000。该数据集总计包含1000个中文词汇,总计大约718,018个样本。据我们所知,这是目前唇语识别领域规模最大的词级公开数据集,也是唯一公开的大规模中文唇语识别数据集。该数据集中视频序列均来源于电视节目,因此包含了复杂的变化条件,包括光照、说话人姿态、语速、视频分辨率等,是分布自然而极具挑战的唇读数据集。具体来说,LRW-1000具有以下特点:
- 关于说话人(Speakers):总计大约超过2000个不同的说话人,说话人的性别、姿态、年龄、化妆与否等均无限定,同时说话时的语速也未做严格限制,基本覆盖了自然场景下的说话情况。
- 关于数据样本(Word Samples):总计包含大约718,018个序列片段,每个序列片段对应于一个中文词汇,平均每个样本约0.3秒。在实际应用中大量存在的短词汇也正是研究的难点所在。
- 关于分辨率(Lip Region Resolution):该数据集取自各类电视节目,覆盖了较大的人脸分辨率范围,唇部区域分辨率从2020到300300不等,与实际应用情况基本相符。
注:其它详细信息请参考我们的论文:《LRW-1000: A Naturally-Distributed Large-Scale Benchmark for Lip Reading in the Wild》(https://arxiv.org/pdf/1810.06990.pdf)
考虑到数据集的难度,为方便进行唇语识别技术的对比与测试,我们分别依照说话人的姿态、唇部区域分辨率的大小以及每个中文词汇的长短,将数据划分为了不同难度的三个等级,如下:
在这里插入图片描述
综合来说,LRW-1000是目前最大的词级唇语识别数据集,也是目前唯一公开的大规模中文唇语识别数据集,欢迎各位同行申请使用。(联系邮箱:dalu.feng@vipl.ict.ac.cn; shuang.yang@ict.ac.cn)

3 LRS2数据集
3.1 数据集介绍:
The dataset consists of thousands of spoken sentences from BBC television. Each sentences is up to 100 characters in length. The training, validation and test sets are divided according to broadcast date. The dataset statistics are given in the table below.
The utterances in the pre-training set correspond to part-sentences as well as multiple sentences, whereas the training set only consists of single full sentences or phrases. There is some overlap between the pre-training and the training sets.
Although there might be some label noise in the pre-training and the training sets, the test set has undergone additional verification; so, to the best of our knowledge, there are no errors in the test set.
Set | Dates | # utterances | # word instances | Vocab |
Pre-train | 11/2010-06/2016 | 96,318 | 2,064,118 | 41,427 |
Train | 11/2010-06/2016 | 45,839 | 329,180 | 17,660 |
Validation | 06/2016-09/2016 | 1,082 | 7,866 | 1,984 |
Test | 09/2016-03/2017 | 1,243 | 6,663 | 1,698 |
Important: We have renamed the dataset to LRS2, in order to differentiate it from the LRS and the MV-LRS datasets described in [1] and [2]. The contents of this webpage and the dataset remains the same.

3.3 数据处理
首先用cat命令拼接文件,之后用tar命令解压文件,即可得到完整数据集。linux直接使用即可,windows安装git bash再进行解压,可参考windows下Git BASH安装。进入分区文件所在的目录,使用此命令进行拼接(注意将名改为对应的数据集名)。
cat lrs2_v1_parta* > lrs2_v1.tar
tar -xvf lrs2_v1.tar

4 GRID 数据集
4.1 数据集介绍
GRID 数据集是由美国谢菲尔德大学团队于2006 年提出,旨在为语音感知和自动语音识别研究提供实验数据。该数据集在实验室环境下录制,只有 34 个志愿者,这在大型数据集中人数算比较少的,但每个志愿者说 1000 个短语,共 34000个话语实例。该数据集短语构成符合一定的规律,每个短语包含 6 个单词,不是常见的短语,而是在 6 类单词中每类随机挑选一个组成随机短语。这 6 类单词分别是“命令”、“颜色”、“介词”、“字母”、“数字”和“副词”,例如:Bin blueat A 1 again。每类单词规定了数量,单词总数共 51 个。数据集是完全公开的,不需要与发布者联系,也不需要填写保密协议即可在网上下载使用。
