The paper introduces DirectSwap, a mask‑free video head‑swapping method that leverages a newly created cross‑identity paired dataset, HeadSwapBench. By synthesizing expression‑synchronized video pairs from real footage, the authors provide frame‑aligned ground truth for full‑reference evaluation of identity, expression, pose, reconstruction fidelity, and temporal stability. DirectSwap outperforms traditional same‑identity masked reconstruction, especially when head silhouettes change, and can restore non‑head content without external segmentation.
arXiv:2606. 11670v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Subject-preserving video generation is not solved by frontal-face similarity alone: a generated person must remain recognizable across motion, large viewpoint changes, expression shifts, occlusion, scale variation, and conflicts among text, first-frame, and identity references.

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.
