• Authors: Yatao Zhong, Faezeh Amjadi, Ilya Zharkov
• Abstract summary: Face animation aims at creating photo-realistic portrait videos with animated poses and expressions. We present a geometry driven model and propose two geometric patterns as guidance: 3D face rendered displacement maps and posed neural codes. We show that the proposed model can synthesize portrait videos with high fidelity and achieve the new state-of-the-art results on the VoxCeleb1 and VoxCeleb2 datasets.

• Abstract: Face animation aims at creating photo-realistic portrait videos with animated poses and expressions. A common practice is to generate displacement fields that are used to warp pixels and features from source to target. However, prior attempts often produce sub-optimal displacements. In this work, we present a geometry driven model and propose two geometric patterns as guidance: 3D face rendered displacement maps and posed neural codes. The model can optionally use one of the patterns as guidance for displacement estimation. To model displacements at locations not covered by the face model (e.g., hair), we resort to source image features for contextual information and propose a progressive warping module that alternates between feature warping and displacement estimation at increasing resolutions. We show that the proposed model can synthesize portrait videos with high fidelity and achieve the new state-of-the-art results on the VoxCeleb1 and VoxCeleb2 datasets for both cross identity and same identity reconstruction.

  We introduce a prior model that is conditioned on the runtime inputs and tie this prior space to the 3D face model via a normalizing flow in the latent space. A normalizing flow bridges the two representation spaces and transforms latent samples from one domain to another, allowing us to define a latent likelihood objective. We show that our approach leads to an expressive and effective prior, capturing facial dynamics and subtle expressions better.
