HairPort: In-context 3D-aware Hair Import and Transfer for Images
Researchers have developed HairPort, a novel framework for transferring hairstyles between images, even with significant differences in pose and scale. The method involves a 'Bald Converter' that realistically removes hair using LoRA-based adaptation of FLUX.1 Kontext, trained on a new dataset called Baldy. A 3D-Aware Transfer Pipeline then reconstructs and re-renders the target hairstyle from the desired viewpoint before compositing it onto the source image, enabling more accurate and identity-preserving results than existing techniques.
