Types of facial speech features
 
 
- Lip contour features (external / external&internal lip contour):
- 
- spatial position;
- moments, Fourier descriptors;
- contour model parameters (-geometrical models: ellipsoidal; parabolic;                  				-deformable templates; -snakes; -B-splines)
 
- Geometrical features:
- 
- mouth width and height; 
- mouth area; lip perimeter;
 
- Statistical model-based features:
- 
- feature vector of spatial positions: ASM (Active Shape Models)
- feature vector of gray level profiles: AAM (Active Appearance Models)
 
- Image-based features:
- 
- raw image of the mouth ROI: gray level or binary image
- PCA; DWT; DCT
