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 …

While current monocular 3D face reconstruction methods can recover fine geometric details,
they suffer several limitations. Some methods produce faces that cannot be realistically …

Abstract We present Neural Head Avatars, a novel neural representation that explicitly
models the surface geometry and appearance of an animatable human avatar that can be …

We propose a neural talking-head video synthesis model and demonstrate its application to
video conferencing. Our model learns to synthesize a talking-head video using a source …

Efficient rendering of photo‐realistic virtual worlds is a long standing effort of computer
graphics. Modern graphics techniques have succeeded in synthesizing photo‐realistic …

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 …

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 …

Several recent works have shown how highly realistic human head images can be obtained
by training convolutional neural networks to generate them. In order to create a personalized …
