Lipreading refers to the task of decoding the text content of a speaker based on visual information about the movement of the speaker&rsquo:s lips. With the development of deep learning in recent years, lipreading has attracted extensive research. However, the deep learning method requires a lot of computing resources, which is not conducive to the migration of the system to edge devices. Inspired by the work of Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) in recognizing human actions and gestures, we propose a lipreading system based on SNNs. Specifically, we construct the front-end feature extractor of the system using Liquid State Machine (LSM). On the other hand, a heuristic algorithm is used to select appropriate parameters for the classifier in the backend. On small-scale lipreading datasets, our recognition accuracy achieves good results. We claim that our network performs better in terms of accuracy and ratio of learned parameters compared to other networks, and has superior advantages in terms of network complexity and training cost. On the AVLetters dataset, our model achieves a 5% improvement in accuracy over traditional methods and a 90% reduction in parameters over the state-of-the-art.
