Product Details

Animate-X is a universal LDM-based animation framework for various character types (collectively referred to as X), including human mimic characters. This framework enhances motion representation by introducing pose indicators, which can more comprehensively capture motion patterns from driving videos. Key benefits of Animate-X include in-depth modeling of motion, the ability to understand the motion patterns driving video and flexibly apply them to target characters. In addition, Animate-X introduces a new Animated Anthropomorphic Benchmark (A2Bench) to evaluate its performance on general and widely applicable animated images.

DressRecon

DressRecon

DressRecon is a method for reconstructing temporally consistent 4D human models from monocular videos, focusing on handling very loose clothing or handheld object interactions. The technique combines general prior knowledge of the human body (learned from large-scale training data) with specific "bag-of-skeleton" deformations for individual videos (fitted through test-time optimization). DressRecon separates body and clothing deformations by learning a neural implicit model as separate motion model layers. To capture the subtle geometry of clothing, it leverages image-based prior knowledge such as human pose, surface normals, and optical flow to adjust during the optimization process. The generated neural fields can be extracted into temporally consistent meshes or further optimized into explicit 3D Gaussians to improve rendering quality and enable interactive visualization. DressRecon delivers higher 3D reconstruction fidelity than previous techniques on datasets containing highly challenging clothing deformations and object interactions.

Svd Keyframe Interpolation

Svd Keyframe Interpolation

Svd Keyframe Interpolation is a keyframe interpolation model based on singular value decomposition (SVD) technology, which is used to automatically generate intermediate frames in animation production, thereby improving the work efficiency of animators. This technology automatically calculates the images of intermediate frames by analyzing the characteristics of key frames, making the animation more smooth and natural. Its advantage is that it reduces the animator's workload of manually drawing in-between frames while maintaining high-quality animation effects.

PRISMA

PRISMA

PRISMA is a computational photography pipeline that can perform multiple inferences from any image or video. Just like light refracted into different wavelengths through a prism, this pipeline expands the image into data that can be used for 3D reconstruction or real-time post-processing operations. It combines different algorithms and open source pre-trained models, such as monocular depth (MiDAS v3.1, ZoeDepth, Marigold, PatchFusion), optical flow (RAFT), segmentation mask (mmdet), camera pose (colmap), etc. The resulting bands are stored in a folder with the same name as the input files, with each band stored individually as a .png or .mp4 file. For videos, in the last step, it tries to perform sparse reconstruction, which can be used for NeRF (such as NVidia's Instant-ngp) or Gaussian diffusion training. The inferred depth information is exported by default as a heat map that can be decoded in real time using LYGIA's heatmap GLSL/HLSL sampling, while the optical flow is encoded as HUE (angle) and saturation, which can also be decoded in real time using LYGIA's optical flow GLSL/HLSL sampler.
