Abstract

Provided are systems and methods for realistic head turns and face animation synthesis. An example method may include receiving frames of a source video with the head and the face of a source actor. The method may then proceed with generating sets of source pose parameters that represent positions of the head and facial expressions of the source actor. The method may further include receiving at least one target image including the target head and the target face of a target person, determining target identity information associated with the target face, and generating an output video based on the target identity information and the sets of source pose parameters. Each frame of the output video can include an image of the target face modified to mimic at least one of the positions of the head of the source actor and at least one of facial expressions of the source actor.
