Avatar Creation

Avatar creation research focuses on developing efficient and realistic methods for generating 3D human avatars from various input modalities, including images, videos, and text prompts. Current efforts leverage neural radiance fields (NeRFs), Gaussian splatting, and diffusion models, often incorporating parametric models like FLAME for improved control and animation. These advancements aim to create high-fidelity, animatable avatars with realistic textures and expressions, impacting fields like gaming, virtual reality, and digital communication by providing more accessible and customizable virtual human representations.
