OMEGA-Avatar: One-shot Modeling of 360{\deg} Gaussian Avatars

Read the original on arXiv AI →

OMEGA-Avatar is a feed‑forward framework that creates a 360° complete, animatable 3D Gaussian head from a single image. It introduces a semantic‑aware mesh deformation module to improve hair modeling while preserving topology, and a multi‑view feature splatting module that builds a shared canonical UV representation for consistent, high‑frequency detail across all viewpoints. Experiments show it outperforms existing baselines in full‑head completeness and identity preservation.

Fresco++: Frequency-Guided and Canonical-Consistent Optimization for Fine-Grained Head Avatar Modeling

Fresco++ is a unified optimization framework for fine‑grained, view‑consistent head avatar reconstruction. It uses a frequency‑guided curriculum that first stabilizes low‑frequency structures before adding high‑frequency constraints, and a Canonical Group Consensus that links local observations across viewpoints to enforce cross‑view consistency. The method incorporates geometric and visibility screening and aggregates multi‑view evidence in feature space, achieving stable optimization from coarse to fine details without extra rendering of auxiliary views.

AGORA: Adversarial Generation Of Real-time Animatable 3D Gaussian Head Avatars

AGORA is a new framework that extends 3D Gaussian Splatting with a generative adversarial network to produce high‑fidelity, animatable 3D head avatars. It introduces a lightweight FLAME‑conditioned deformation branch that predicts per‑Gaussian residuals for identity‑preserving, fine‑grained expression control, and a dual‑discriminator training scheme that enforces expression fidelity. The system achieves real‑time inference at 250 FPS on a single GPU and, for the first time, CPU‑only animatable 3DGS avatar synthesis at ~9 FPS.
