New ICEF framework enhances few-shot facial expression synthesis

Researchers have developed Identity-Consistent Expression Fields (ICEF), a new framework for synthesizing facial expressions from a limited set of images. This method disentangles identity-specific features from expression-driven deformations to prevent identity drift. ICEF also uses a confidence-weighted warping step to reduce artifacts when extrapolating to novel expressions, improving rendering quality and identity consistency. AI

IMPACT This framework could improve the realism and identity preservation in AI-driven facial animation and editing tools.

    Identity-Consistent Expression Fields: A Disentangled Neural Radiance Field Framework for Few-Shot Facial Expression Synthesis

    arXiv:2607.16287v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) have enabled photorealistic novel-view synthesis of 3D scenes and, in the facial domain, have been extended to reconstruct and animate 3D face models from a small number of images. However, existing f…
