• Abstract: We propose a novel approach for few-shot talking-head synthesis. While recent works in neural talking heads have produced promising results, they can still produce images that do not preserve the identity of the subject in source images. We posit this is a result of the entangled representation of each subject in a single latent code that models 3D shape information, identity cues, colors, lighting and even background details. In contrast, we propose to factorize the representation of a subject into its spatial and style components. Our method generates a target frame in two steps. First, it predicts a dense spatial layout for the target image. Second, an image generator utilizes the predicted layout for spatial denormalization and synthesizes the target frame. We experimentally show that this disentangled representation leads to a significant improvement over previous methods, both quantitatively and qualitatively.

  We introduce Zero-1-to-3, a framework for changing the camera viewpoint of an object given just a single RGB image. Our conditional diffusion model uses a synthetic dataset to learn controls of the relative camera viewpoint. Our method significantly outperforms state-of-the-art single-view 3D reconstruction and novel view synthesis models by leveraging Internet-scale pre-training.

  We introduce a principled end-to-end reconstruction framework for natural images, where accurate ground-truth poses are not available. We leverage an unconditional 3D-aware generator, to which we apply a hybrid inversion scheme where a model produces a first guess of the solution. Our framework can de-render an image in as few as 10 steps, enabling its use in practical scenarios.

  Implicit neural 3D representation has achieved impressive results in surface or scene reconstruction and novel view synthesis.

We introduce a novel coordinate-based model, CoCo-INR, for implicit neural 3D representation.

We construct the classification and segmentation models that directly take as input this implicit format and also propose a novel augmentation technique to avoid overfitting on backgrounds of images.
