Image Animation

Image animation aims to bring static images to life by generating realistic video sequences, often guided by text prompts or driving videos. Current research heavily utilizes diffusion models and other generative AI techniques, focusing on improving motion controllability, temporal consistency, and fidelity while handling diverse image content and styles, including open-domain images and complex elements like hair or fluids. These advancements are significant for various applications, such as video editing, e-commerce, and virtual reality, enabling more engaging and interactive visual experiences.
