Photo-realistic and controllable 3D avatars are crucial for various applications such as virtual and mixed reality (VR/MR), telepresence, gaming, and film production. Traditional methods for avatar creation often involve time-consuming…
In recent advances of deep generative models, face reenactment -manipulating and controlling human face, including their head movement-has drawn much attention for its wide range of applicability. Despite its strong expressiveness, it is…
In this paper, we consider a novel problem of reconstructing a 3D human avatar from multiple unconstrained frames, independent of assumptions on camera calibration, capture space, and constrained actions. The problem should be addressed by…
We propose a method for synthesizing edited photo-realistic digital avatars with text instructions. Given a short monocular RGB video and text instructions, our method uses an image-conditioned diffusion model to edit one head image and…
Delivering immersive, 3D experiences for human communication requires a method to obtain 360 degree photo-realistic avatars of humans. To make these experiences accessible to all, only commodity hardware, like mobile phone cameras, should…
Current 3D GAN inversion methods for human heads typically use only one single frontal image to reconstruct the whole 3D head model. This leaves out meaningful information when multi-view data or dynamic videos are available. Our method…
We present SynShot, a novel method for the few-shot inversion of a drivable head avatar based on a synthetic prior. We tackle three major challenges. First, training a controllable 3D generative network requires a large number of diverse…
We address the challenging problem of generating facial attributes using a single image in an unconstrained pose. In contrast to prior works that largely consider generation on 2D near-frontal images, we propose a GAN-based framework to…
In this paper, we propose a novel diffusion-based multi-condition controllable framework for video head swapping, which seamlessly transplant a human head from a static image into a dynamic video, while preserving the original body and…
