GHARP: Real-time Gaussian Head Animation from Large-scale Reconstruction Prior

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2610.10945v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present GHARP (Real-time Gaussian Head Animation from Large-scale Reconstruction Prior), a method that animates 3D human heads in real time from a few input images of a subject and a driving expression signal. We decouple the problem into an identity stage that builds a representation of the subject's geometry and appearance offline, and an animation stage that predicts expression-dependent residuals on top of it at runtime. This separation offers a favorable trade-off with respect to fidelity, quality and runtime: the identity stage can be expensive while the animation stage runs a lightweight network, optimized for mobile devices. Our method performs animation in a semantically structured latent space of a pretrained reconstruction mod
