Researchers have developed a new pipeline for creating 3D-consistent and expressive head avatars from single images at high speeds. This method addresses the trade-offs between speed, 3D consistency, and expressiveness often seen in portrait animation. By employing an efficient local fusion strategy and decoupling animation from the 3D representation, the system achieves over 100 FPS, offering a significant speedup compared to existing state-of-the-art methods while maintaining comparable animation quality.
