Abstract: Virtual humans created by computers using deep learning technology are being used widely in a variety of fields, including personal assistance, intelligent customer service, and online education. Human-computer interaction systems integrate multi-modal technologies like speech recognition, dialogue systems, speech synthesis, and virtual digital human video synthesis as one of the applications of virtual humans. In this paper, we first design the framework for a human-computer interaction system based on a virtual human; next, we classify the talking head video synthesis model according to the generation of a virtual human's depth; finally, we conduct a systematic review of the technical developments in talking head video generation over the last five years, highlighting seminal work.
