Example-Based Facial Animation of Virtual Reality Avatars Using Auto-Regressive Neural Networks.
IEEE Comput Graph Appl
December 2021
Article Synopsis
- This article introduces a hybrid animation technique that merges example-based methods with neural networks to enhance human face animations.
- The traditional method relies on a database of pre-recorded sequences, while the new approach uses a lightweight auto-regressive network that transforms these sequences into a flexible parametric model.
- This innovation allows for realistic and seamless synthesis of facial animations, particularly useful for visual speech, by predicting the appearance of visemes without needing an exhaustive database.
The goal of many computational physicists and chemists is the ability to bridge the gap between atomistic length scales of about a few multiples of an Ångström (Å), i. e., 10 m, and meso- or macroscopic length scales by virtue of simulations.
