. Unlike current face reenactment approaches that only modify the expression of a target actor in a video, our novel deep video portrait approach enables full control over the target by transferring the rigid head pose, facial expression and eye motion with a high level of photorealism. We present a novel approach that enables photo-realistic re-animation of portrait videos using only an input video. In contrast to existing approaches that are restricted to manipulations of facial expressions only, we are the first to transfer the full 3D head position, head rotation, face expression, eye gaze, and eye blinking from a source actor to a portrait video of a target actor. The core of our approach is a generative neural network with a novel space-time architecture. The network takes as input synthetic renderings of a parametric face model, based on which it predicts photo-realistic video frames for a given target actor. The realism in this rendering-to-video transfer is achieved by careful adversarial training, and as a result, we can create modified target
In a concurrent work of REF , they introduce a generative neural network to predict photo-realistic video frames from synthetic renderings of a parametric face model.
