No Distillation Needed: Single-Pass Real-Time Talking Heads via Acausal Noise Shaping
Yu Han, Dejan Markovic, Alexander Richard +4
Audio-driven facial animation underpins real-time avatars, telepresence, and embodied virtual agents. And it must run online: each frame emitted from audio observed up to the curre…
PhysHead: Simulation-Ready Gaussian Head Avatars
Berna Kabadayi, Vanessa Sklyarova, Wojciech Zielonka +2
Realistic digital avatars require expressive and dynamic hair motion; however, most existing head avatar methods assume rigid hair movement. These methods often fail to disentangle…
Synthetic Prior for Few-Shot Drivable Head Avatar Inversion
Wojciech Zielonka, Stephan J. Garbin, Alexandros Lattas +5
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…
Gaussian Eigen Models for Human Heads
Wojciech Zielonka, Timo Bolkart, Thabo Beeler +1
Current personalized neural head avatars face a trade-off: lightweight models lack detail and realism, while high-quality, animatable avatars require significant computational reso…
GAN-Avatar: Controllable Personalized GAN-based Human Head Avatar
Berna Kabadayi, Wojciech Zielonka, Bharat Lal Bhatnagar +2
Digital humans and, especially, 3D facial avatars have raised a lot of attention in the past years, as they are the backbone of several applications like immersive telepresence in…
Drivable 3D Gaussian Avatars
Wojciech Zielonka, Timur Bagautdinov, Shunsuke Saito +3
We present Drivable 3D Gaussian Avatars (D3GA), a multi-layered 3D controllable model for human bodies that utilizes 3D Gaussian primitives embedded into tetrahedral cages. The adv…
Instant Volumetric Head Avatars
Wojciech Zielonka, Timo Bolkart, Justus Thies
We present Instant Volumetric Head Avatars (INSTA), a novel approach for reconstructing photo-realistic digital avatars instantaneously. INSTA models a dynamic neural radiance fiel…
Towards Metrical Reconstruction of Human Faces
Wojciech Zielonka, Timo Bolkart, Justus Thies
Face reconstruction and tracking is a building block of numerous applications in AR/VR, human-machine interaction, as well as medical applications. Most of these applications rely…
