Researchers At Samsung Develop MegaPortraits: An AI Model To Create One-Shot Megapixel Neural Head Avatars

A novel and intriguing method of building virtual head models are neural head avatars. They learn the shape and appearance of talking humans in videos, skipping the difficult physics-based modeling of realistic human avatars. Over the past few years, techniques have been developed that enable the creation of realistic avatars from a single image. To construct the avatars in the one-shot mode, they use significant pretraining on the massive datasets of films of various people, utilizing general information about the …
