Learning Disentangled Avatars with Hybrid 3D Representations

no code implementations12 Sep 2023 Yao Feng, Weiyang Liu, Timo Bolkart, Jinlong Yang, Marc Pollefeys, Michael J. Black

Towards this end, both explicit and implicit 3D representations are heavily studied for a holistic modeling and capture of the whole human (e. g., body, clothing, face and hair), but neither representation is an optimal choice in terms of representation efficacy since different parts of the human avatar have different modeling desiderata.

EMOCA: Emotion Driven Monocular Face Capture and Animation

1 code implementation CVPR 2022 Radek Danecek, Michael J. Black, Timo Bolkart

While EMOCA achieves 3D reconstruction errors that are on par with the current best methods, it significantly outperforms them in terms of the quality of the reconstructed expression and the perceived emotional content.
