• Abstract summary: We present DAWN, a framework that enables all-at-once generation of dynamic-length video sequences. DAWN consists of two main components: (1) audio-driven holistic facial dynamics generation in the latent motion space, and (2) audio-driven head pose and blink generation. Our method generates authentic and vivid videos with precise lip motions, and natural pose/blink movements.

• Abstract: Talking head generation intends to produce vivid and realistic talking head videos from a single portrait and speech audio clip. Although significant progress has been made in diffusion-based talking head generation, almost all methods rely on autoregressive strategies, which suffer from limited context utilization beyond the current generation step, error accumulation, and slower generation speed. To address these challenges, we present DAWN (Dynamic frame Avatar With Non-autoregressive diffusion), a framework that enables all-at-once generation of dynamic-length video sequences. Specifically, it consists of two main components: (1) audio-driven holistic facial dynamics generation in the latent motion space, and (2) audio-driven head pose and blink generation. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method generates authentic and vivid videos with precise lip motions, and natural pose/blink movements. Additionally, with a high generation speed, DAWN possesses strong extrapolation capabilities, ensuring the stable production of high-quality long videos. These results highlight the considerable promise and potential impact of DAWN in the field of talking head video generation. Furthermore, we hope that DAWN sparks further exploration of non-autoregressive approaches in diffusion models. Our code will be publicly available at https://github.com/Hanbo-Cheng/DAWN-pytorch.

  We introduce DiffTED, a new approach for one-shot audio-driven talking video generation from a single image. We leverage a diffusion model to generate sequences of keypoints for a Thin-Plate Spline motion model. Experiments demonstrate that DiffTED generates temporally coherent talking videos with diverse co-speech gestures.

  We introduce VASA, a framework for generating lifelike talking faces with appealing visual affective skills (VAS) given a single static image and a speech audio clip. VASA-1 is capable of not only generating lip movements that are exquisitely synchronized with the audio, but also producing a large spectrum of facial nuances and natural head motions.

  We propose a two-stage generic framework that supports generating high-visual quality talking head videos. In the first stage, we map the audio to mesh by learning two motions, including non-rigid expression motion and rigid head motion. In the second stage, we proposed a dual branch motion-vae and a generator to transform the meshes into dense motion and synthesize high-quality video frame-by-frame.

  Existing video generation models are typically trained on a limited number of frames, resulting in the inability to generate high-fidelity long videos during inference. This study explores the potential of extending the text-driven capability to generate longer videos conditioned on multiple texts. We propose FreeNoise, a tuning-free and time-efficient paradigm to enhance the generative capabilities of pretrained video diffusion models.

  A modern talking face generation method is expected to achieve the goals of generalized audio-lip synchronization, good video quality, and high system efficiency. NeRF has become a popular technique in this field since it could achieve high-fidelity and 3D-consistent talking face generation with a few-minute-long training video. We propose GeneFace++ to handle these challenges by utilizing the rendering pitch contour as an auxiliary feature and introducing a temporal loss in the facial motion prediction process.

  Talking face generation has historically struggled to produce head movements and natural facial expressions without guidance from additional reference videos.

We present an autoregressive diffusion model that requires only one identity image and audio sequence to generate a video of a realistic talking human head.
