• Authors: Meidai Xuanyuan, Yuwang Wang, Honglei Guo, Qionghai Dai
• Abstract summary: We consider a novel and practical case for talking face video generation. We take facial landmarks as a control signal to bridge the driving audio, talking context and generated videos. The experimental results verify the advantage of the proposed method over other baselines in terms of audio-video synchronization, video fidelity and frame consistency.

• Abstract: In this paper, we consider a novel and practical case for talking face video generation. Specifically, we focus on the scenarios involving multi-people interactions, where the talking context, such as audience or surroundings, is present. In these situations, the video generation should take the context into consideration in order to generate video content naturally aligned with driving audios and spatially coherent to the context. To achieve this, we provide a two-stage and cross-modal controllable video generation pipeline, taking facial landmarks as an explicit and compact control signal to bridge the driving audio, talking context and generated videos. Inside this pipeline, we devise a 3D video diffusion model, allowing for efficient contort of both spatial conditions (landmarks and context video), as well as audio condition for temporally coherent generation. The experimental results verify the advantage of the proposed method over other baselines in terms of audio-video synchronization, video fidelity and frame consistency.

  Existing person-generic methods have difficulty in generating realistic and lip-synced videos. We propose a two-stage framework consisting of audio-to-landmark generation and landmark-to-video rendering procedures. Our method can produce more realistic, lip-synced, and identity-preserving videos than existing person-generic talking face generation methods.
