Human Head
The human head is a focal point in diverse research areas, ranging from medical image analysis and treatment planning to computer graphics and AI. Current research emphasizes developing sophisticated models for accurate head pose estimation, realistic 3D head avatar generation (often using Gaussian splatting and 3D Morphable Models), and efficient processing of long-context information in large language models. These advancements are significant for improving medical diagnoses and treatments (e.g., cancer radiotherapy), creating more immersive and interactive virtual experiences, and enhancing the capabilities of AI systems.
