RigPAPR enables realistic animation of static 3D neural point clouds

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed RigPAPR, a novel method for animating static neural point clouds from fixed-viewpoint videos. Unlike previous techniques that suffer from joint-boundary artifacts due to rigid deformations, RigPAPR reconstructs surfaces at render time, allowing for natural articulation. This approach automatically rigs a point cloud and drives it using direct linear blend skinning, achieving superior rendering quality and accuracy compared to existing methods on synthetic and real-world data.

    RigPAPR: Rig-Based Animation of Static Neural Point Clouds from a Fixed-Viewpoint Video

    arXiv:2606.06685v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Static neural point reconstructions capture a subject at high fidelity from posed images. Given such a reconstruction, we aim to animate it to follow a monocular fixed-viewpoint driving video of the subject, whether captured or prod…
