Generating Video from Single Image and Sound

In this paper, we propose a method of generating a video linked to sound from a single image and a few seconds of sound while maintaining the appearance of the image. Conventional video generation methods from sound require key points extraction related to the sound in each object, such as the mouth in speech and arms in musical instrument performance. They can not be applied to objects whose shape changes significantly like fireworks. The proposed method can generate a video without extracting specific key points from images. We experimented not only the mouth shape and body pose of human treated in the conventional ways, but also fireworks and sea waves where it is difficult to design key points.
