Welcome to the newest ARC advisor - @LukaszMirocha! Catch @RadianceFields and @LukaszMirocha at Siggraph Asia this week on https://t.co/FWjWch82sL: https://t.co/4XN7iRTZLr

[ARC3D @Arc3Dco]

Catch the replay of our live event from last week on 4DGS!

Here's a clip of @RadianceFields, joined by @azadgenius and @arvinkx, discussing how unlike the transition from still imagery to video which took decades, 3DGS to 4DGS happened in years.

FastAvatar: Instant 3D Gaussian Splatting for Faces from Single Unconstrained Poses

Abstract (excerpt):
We present FastAvatar, a pose-invariant, feed-forward framework that can generate a 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) model from a single face image from an arbitrary pose in near-instant time (<10ms).

FastAvatar uses a novel encoder-decoder neural network design to achieve both fast fitting and identity preservation regardless of input pose.

First, FastAvatar constructs a 3DGS face "template" model from a training dataset of faces with multi-view captures. Second, it encodes the input face image into an identity-specific and pose-invariant latent embedding, and decodes this embedding to predict residuals to the structural and appearance parameters of each Gaussian in the template 3DGS model.

By only inferring residuals in a feed-forward fashion, model inference is fast and robust. FastAvatar significantly outperforms existing feed-forward face 3DGS methods (e.g., GAGAvatar) in reconstruction quality and runs 1000x faster than per-face optimization methods (e.g., FlashAvatar, GaussianAvatars, and GASP).
