Abstract
Systems and methods herein describe novel motion representations for animating articulated objects consisting of distinct parts. The described systems and method access source image data, identify driving image data to modify image feature data in the source image sequence data, generate, using an image transformation neural network, modified source image data comprising a plurality of modified source images depicting modified versions of the image feature data, the image transformation neural network being trained to identify, for each image in the source image data, a driving image from the driving image data, the identified driving image being implemented by the image transformation neural network to modify a corresponding source image in the source image data using motion estimation differences between the identified driving image and the corresponding source image, and stores the modified source image data.
