We propose a compositional method for constructing a complete 3D head avatar from a single image. Prior one-shot holistic approaches frequently fail to produce realistic hair dynamics during animation, largely due to inadequate decoupling…

StyleGAN generates photorealistic portrait images of faces with eyes, teeth, hair and context (neck, shoulders, background), but lacks a rig-like control over semantic face parameters that are interpretable in 3D, such as face pose,…

Facial recognition using deep convolutional neural networks relies on the availability of large datasets of face images. Many examples of identities are needed, and for each identity, a large variety of images are needed in order for the…
