• Abstract summary: We introduce a novel audio-driven talking head synthesis framework, called Talk3D. It can faithfully reconstruct its plausible facial geometries by effectively adopting the pre-trained 3D-aware generative prior. Compared to existing methods, our method excels in generating realistic facial geometries even under extreme head poses.

• Abstract: Recent methods for audio-driven talking head synthesis often optimize neural radiance fields (NeRF) on a monocular talking portrait video, leveraging its capability to render high-fidelity and 3D-consistent novel-view frames. However, they often struggle to reconstruct complete face geometry due to the absence of comprehensive 3D information in the input monocular videos. In this paper, we introduce a novel audio-driven talking head synthesis framework, called Talk3D, that can faithfully reconstruct its plausible facial geometries by effectively adopting the pre-trained 3D-aware generative prior. Given the personalized 3D generative model, we present a novel audio-guided attention U-Net architecture that predicts the dynamic face variations in the NeRF space driven by audio. Furthermore, our model is further modulated by audio-unrelated conditioning tokens which effectively disentangle variations unrelated to audio features. Compared to existing methods, our method excels in generating realistic facial geometries even under extreme head poses. We also conduct extensive experiments showing our approach surpasses state-of-the-art benchmarks in terms of both quantitative and qualitative evaluations.

  One-shot 3D talking portrait generation aims to reconstruct a 3D avatar from an unseen image, and then animate it with a reference video or audio. We present Real3D-Potrait, a framework that improves the one-shot 3D reconstruction power with a large image-to-plane model. Experiments show that Real3D-Portrait generalizes well to unseen identities and generates more realistic talking portrait videos.
