Creating high-fidelity 3D head avatars has always been a research hotspot but there
remains a great challenge under lightweight sparse view setups. In this paper we propose …

The fidelity of relighting is bounded by both geometry and appearance representations. For
geometry both mesh and volumetric approaches have difficulty modeling intricate structures …

Creating photorealistic avatars of existing people currently requires extensive person-
specific data capture, which is usually only accessible to the VFX industry and not the …

We present a unified deformation model for the markerless capture of multiple scales of
human movement, including facial expressions, body motion, and hand gestures. An initial …

Emerging Metaverse applications demand accessible, accurate, and easy-to-use tools for
3D digital human creations in order to depict different cultures and societies as if in the …

Over the last years, with the advent of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), many face
analysis tasks have accomplished astounding performance, with applications including, but …

The ability to animate photo-realistic head avatars reconstructed from monocular portrait
video sequences represents a crucial step in bridging the gap between the virtual and real …

In this article, we provide a detailed survey of 3D Morphable Face Models over the 20 years
since they were first proposed. The challenges in building and applying these models …

Recent progress on photometric stereo extends the technique to deal with general materials
and unknown illumination conditions. However, due to the lack of suitable benchmark data …
