Neural Face Rigging for Animating and Retargeting Facial Meshes in the Wild

1 code implementation15 May 2023 Dafei Qin, Jun Saito, Noam Aigerman, Thibault Groueix, Taku Komura

We propose an end-to-end deep-learning approach for automatic rigging and retargeting of 3D models of human faces in the wild.

Skeleton-free Pose Transfer for Stylized 3D Characters

1 code implementation28 Jul 2022 Zhouyingcheng Liao, Jimei Yang, Jun Saito, Gerard Pons-Moll, Yang Zhou

We present the first method that automatically transfers poses between stylized 3D characters without skeletal rigging.

NeMF: Neural Motion Fields for Kinematic Animation

no code implementations4 Jun 2022 Chengan He, Jun Saito, James Zachary, Holly Rushmeier, Yi Zhou

We present an implicit neural representation to learn the spatio-temporal space of kinematic motions.

Neural Jacobian Fields: Learning Intrinsic Mappings of Arbitrary Meshes

1 code implementation5 May 2022 Noam Aigerman, Kunal Gupta, Vladimir G. Kim, Siddhartha Chaudhuri, Jun Saito, Thibault Groueix

This paper introduces a framework designed to accurately predict piecewise linear mappings of arbitrary meshes via a neural network, enabling training and evaluating over heterogeneous collections of meshes that do not share a triangulation, as well as producing highly detail-preserving maps whose accuracy exceeds current state of the art.

FaceFormer: Speech-Driven 3D Facial Animation with Transformers

1 code implementation CVPR 2022 Yingruo Fan, Zhaojiang Lin, Jun Saito, Wenping Wang, Taku Komura

Speech-driven 3D facial animation is challenging due to the complex geometry of human faces and the limited availability of 3D audio-visual data.

Joint Audio-Text Model for Expressive Speech-Driven 3D Facial Animation

no code implementations4 Dec 2021 Yingruo Fan, Zhaojiang Lin, Jun Saito, Wenping Wang, Taku Komura

The existing datasets are collected to cover as many different phonemes as possible instead of sentences, thus limiting the capability of the audio-based model to learn more diverse contexts.

Contact-Aware Retargeting of Skinned Motion

no code implementations ICCV 2021 Ruben Villegas, Duygu Ceylan, Aaron Hertzmann, Jimei Yang, Jun Saito

Self-contacts, such as when hands touch each other or the torso or the head, are important attributes of human body language and dynamics, yet existing methods do not model or preserve these contacts.

Neural Puppet: Generative Layered Cartoon Characters

no code implementations4 Oct 2019 Omid Poursaeed, Vladimir G. Kim, Eli Shechtman, Jun Saito, Serge Belongie

We capture these subtle changes by applying an image translation network to refine the mesh rendering, providing an end-to-end model to generate new animations of a character with high visual quality.

Minimally Supervised Learning of Affective Events Using Discourse Relations

no code implementations IJCNLP 2019 Jun Saito, Yugo Murawaki, Sadao Kurohashi

Recognizing affective events that trigger positive or negative sentiment has a wide range of natural language processing applications but remains a challenging problem mainly because the polarity of an event is not necessarily predictable from its constituent words.
