Gaussian Eigen Models for Human Heads

Wojciech Zielonka, Timo Bolkart, Thabo Beeler, Justus Thies

Expand abstract

Current personalized neural head avatars face a trade-off: lightweight models lack detail and realism, while high-quality, animatable avatars require significant computational resources, making them unsuitable for commodity devices. To address this gap, we introduce Gaussian Eigen Models (GEM), which provide high-quality, lightweight, and easily controllable head avatars. GEM utilizes 3D Gaussian primitives for representing the appearance combined with Gaussian splatting for rendering. Building on the success of mesh-based 3D morphable face models (3DMM), we define GEM as an ensemble of linear eigenbases for representing the head appearance of a specific subject. In particular, we construct linear bases to represent the position, scale, rotation, and opacity of the 3D Gaussians. This allows us to efficiently generate Gaussian primitives of a specific head shape by a linear combination of the basis vectors, only requiring a low-dimensional parameter vector that contains the respective coefficients. We propose to construct these linear bases (GEM) by distilling high-quality compute-intense CNN-based Gaussian avatar models that can generate expression-dependent appearance changes like wrinkles. These high-quality models are trained on multi-view videos of a subject and are distilled using a series of principle component analyses. Once we have obtained the bases that represent the animatable appearance space of a specific human, we learn a regressor that takes a single RGB image as input and predicts the low-dimensional parameter vector that corresponds to the shown facial expression. We demonstrate that this regressor can be trained such that it effectively supports self- and cross-person reenactment from monocular videos without requiring prior mesh-based tracking. In a series of experiments, we compare GEM's self-reenactment and cross-person reenactment results to state-of-the-art 3D avatar methods, demonstrating GEM's higher visual quality and better generalization to new expressions. As our distilled linear model is highly efficient in generating novel animation states, we also show a real-time demo of GEMs driven by monocular webcam videos.

Free-viewpoint Human Animation with Pose-correlated Reference Selection

Fa-Ting Hong, Zhan Xu, Haiyang Liu, Qinjie Lin, Luchuan Song, Zhixin Shu, Yang Zhou, Duygu Ceylan, Dan Xu

Expand abstract

Diffusion-based human animation aims to animate a human character based on a source human image as well as driving signals such as a sequence of poses. Leveraging the generative capacity of diffusion model, existing approaches are able to generate high-fidelity poses, but struggle with significant viewpoint changes, especially in zoom-in/zoom-out scenarios where camera-character distance varies. This limits the applications such as cinematic shot type plan or camera control. We propose a pose-correlated reference selection diffusion network, supporting substantial viewpoint variations in human animation. Our key idea is to enable the network to utilize multiple reference images as input, since significant viewpoint changes often lead to missing appearance details on the human body. To eliminate the computational cost, we first introduce a novel pose correlation module to compute similarities between non-aligned target and source poses, and then propose an adaptive reference selection strategy, utilizing the attention map to identify key regions for animation generation. To train our model, we curated a large dataset from public TED talks featuring varied shots of the same character, helping the model learn synthesis for different perspectives. Our experimental results show that with the same number of reference images, our model performs favorably compared to the current SOTA methods under large viewpoint change. We further show that the adaptive reference selection is able to choose the most relevant reference regions to generate humans under free viewpoints.

Embracing Collaboration Over Competition: Condensing Multiple Prompts for Visual In-Context Learning

Jinpeng Wang, Tianci Luo, Yaohua Zha, Yan Feng, Ruisheng Luo, Bin CHEN, Tao Dai, Long Chen, Yaowei Wang, Shu-Tao Xia

Expand abstract

Visual In-Context Learning (VICL) enables adaptively solving vision tasks by leveraging pixel demonstrations, mimicking human-like task completion through analogy. Prompt selection is critical in VICL, but current methods assume the existence of a single "ideal" prompt in a pool of candidates, which in practice may not hold true. Multiple suitable prompts may exist, but individually they often fall short, leading to difficulties in selection and the exclusion of useful context. To address this, we propose a new perspective: prompt condensation. Rather than relying on a single prompt, candidate prompts collaborate to efficiently integrate informative contexts without sacrificing resolution. We devise Condenser, a lightweight external plugin that compresses relevant fine-grained context across multiple prompts. Optimized end-to-end with the backbone, Condenser ensures accurate integration of contextual cues. Experiments demonstrate Condenser outperforms state-of-the-arts across benchmark tasks, showing superior context compression, scalability with more prompts, and enhanced computational efficiency compared to ensemble methods, positioning it as a highly competitive solution for VICL.

Decision SpikeFormer: Spike-Driven Transformer for Decision Making

Wei Huang, Qinying Gu, Nanyang Ye

Expand abstract

Offline reinforcement learning (RL) enables policy training solely on pre-collected data, avoiding direct environment interaction--a crucial benefit for energy-constrained embodied AI applications. Although Artificial Neural Networks (ANN)-based methods perform well in offline RL, their high computational and energy demands motivate exploration of more efficient alternatives. Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) show promise for such tasks, given their low power consumption. In this work, we introduce DSFormer, the first spike-driven transformer model designed to tackle offline RL via sequence modeling. Unlike existing SNN transformers focused on spatial dimensions for vision tasks, we develop Temporal Spiking Self-Attention (TSSA) and Positional Spiking Self-Attention (PSSA) in DSFormer to capture the temporal and positional dependencies essential for sequence modeling in RL. Additionally, we propose Progressive Threshold-dependent Batch Normalization (PTBN), which combines the benefits of LayerNorm and BatchNorm to preserve temporal dependencies while maintaining the spiking nature of SNNs. Comprehensive results in the D4RL benchmark show DSFormer's superiority over both SNN and ANN counterparts, achieving 78.4% energy savings, highlighting DSFormer's advantages not only in energy efficiency but also in competitive performance.

DeClotH: Decomposable 3D Cloth and Human Body Reconstruction from a Single Image

Hyeongjin Nam, Donghwan Kim, Jeongtaek Oh, Kyoung Mu Lee

Expand abstract

Most existing methods of 3D clothed human reconstruction from a single image treat the clothed human as a single object without distinguishing between cloth and human body. In this regard, we present DeClotH, which separately reconstructs 3D cloth and human body from a single image. This task remains largely unexplored due to the extreme occlusion between cloth and the human body, making it challenging to infer accurate geometries and textures. Moreover, while recent 3D human reconstruction methods have achieved impressive results using text-to-image diffusion models, directly applying such an approach to this problem often leads to incorrect guidance, particularly in reconstructing 3D cloth. To address these challenges, we propose two core designs in our framework. First, to alleviate the occlusion issue, we leverage 3D template models of cloth and human body as regularizations, which provide strong geometric priors to prevent erroneous reconstruction by the occlusion. Second, we introduce a cloth diffusion model specifically designed to provide contextual information about cloth appearance, thereby enhancing the reconstruction of 3D cloth. Qualitative and quantitative experiments demonstrate that our proposed approach is highly effective in reconstructing both 3D cloth and the human body.

Certified Human Trajectory Prediction

Mohammadhossein Bahari, Saeed Saadatnejad, Amirhossein Askari Farsangi, Seyed-Mohsen Moosavi-Dezfooli, Alexandre Alahi

Expand abstract

Predicting human trajectories is essential for the safe operation of autonomous vehicles, yet current data-driven models often lack robustness in case of noisy inputs such as adversarial examples or imperfect observations. Although some trajectory prediction methods have been developed to provide empirical robustness, these methods are heuristic and do not offer guaranteed robustness. In this work, we propose a certification approach tailored for trajectory prediction that provides guaranteed robustness. To this end, we address the unique challenges associated with trajectory prediction, such as unbounded outputs and multi-modality. To mitigate the inherent performance drop through certification, we propose a diffusion-based trajectory denoiser and integrate it into our method. Moreover, we introduce new certified performance metrics to reliably measure the trajectory prediction performance. Through comprehensive experiments, we demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of the certified predictors and highlight their advantages over the non-certified ones.

CORE4D: A 4D Human-Object-Human Interaction Dataset for Collaborative Object REarrangement

Yun Liu, Chengwen Zhang, Ruofan Xing, Bingda Tang, Bowen Yang, Li Yi

Expand abstract

Understanding how humans cooperatively rearrange household objects is critical for VR/AR and human-robot interaction. However, in-depth studies on modeling these behaviors are under-researched due to the lack of relevant datasets. We fill this gap by presenting CORE4D, a novel large-scale 4D human-object-human interaction dataset focusing on collaborative object rearrangement, which encompasses diverse compositions of various object geometries, collaboration modes, and 3D scenes. With 1K human-object-human motion sequences captured in the real world, we enrich CORE4D by contributing an iterative collaboration retargeting strategy to augment motions to a variety of novel objects. Leveraging this approach, CORE4D comprises a total of 11K collaboration sequences spanning 3K real and virtual object shapes. Benefiting from extensive motion patterns provided by CORE4D, we benchmark two tasks aiming at generating human-object interaction: human-object motion forecasting and interaction synthesis. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our collaboration retargeting strategy and indicate that CORE4D has posed new challenges to existing human-object interaction generation methodologies.

ALIEN: Implicit Neural Representations for Human Motion Prediction under Arbitrary Latency

Dong Wei, Xiaoning Sun, Xizhan Gao, Shengxiang Hu, Huaijiang Sun

Expand abstract

We investigate a new task in human motion prediction, which aims to forecast future body poses from historically observed sequences while accounting for arbitrary latency. This differs from existing works that assume an ideal scenario where future motions can be "instantaneously" predicted, thereby neglecting time delays caused by network transmission and algorithm execution. Addressing this task requires tackling two key challenges: The length of latency period can vary significantly across samples; the prediction model must be efficient. In this paper, we propose ALIEN, which treats the motion as a continuous function parameterized by a neural network, enabling predictions under any latency condition. By incorporating Mamba-like linear attention as a hyper-network and designing subsequent low-rank modulation, ALIEN efficiently learns a set of implicit neural representation weights from the observed motion to encode instance-specific information. Additionally, our model integrates the primary motion prediction task with an extra-designed variable-delay pose reconstruction task in a unified multi-task learning framework, enhancing its ability to capture richer motion patterns. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art baselines adapted for our new task, while maintaining competitive performance in traditional prediction setting.
