From time to time, research can be quite intense. To stay sharp, I love getting some exercise - it's actually a great way to come up with new research ideas.
Also funny: quite a few PhD students joined the same gym recently, hence creating a huge incentive to not slack off :)
We released our Neural Parametric Head Models (NPHM) dataset from our #CVPR2023 paper!
It includes over 5600 high-fidelity 3D scans of human heads from 272 subjects - all publicly available!
Check it out!

We've also released the NPHM code: https://github.com/SimonGiebenhain/NPHM
We provide several examples and a small demo how to use our dataset. It's now super easy to build your own parametric face/head model!
Great work by Simon, Tobias, Markos Martin Lourdes!
Excited to share "ClipFace: Text-guided Editing of Textured 3D Morphable Models" at #SIGGRAPH23.
ClipFace utilizes 3DMMs to synthesize textures and geometric expressions in 3D guided by text prompts.

Super exciting keynotes scheduled at #Eurographics2023!
Looking forward to seeing the talks by Elmar Eisemann,
Gordon Wetzstein, Ben Mildenhall, and Mirela Ben-Chen!
On my way to #Eurographics2023!
Looking forward to an exciting paper program. Also feel free to ping me if you want to catch up. I'd love to learn more about ongoing research directions :)
📢📢📢NeRSemble #SIGGRAPH'23!
We reconstruct dynamic radiance fields for high-quality novel view synthesis of human heads.
Key is a deformation field and an ensemble of multi-resolution hash encodings to model coarse & fine-scale deformations.
To train our model, we record a novel multi-view video dataset from 16 cameras containing over 4700 sequences of human heads covering a variety of facial expressions.
The dataset will be publicly available!

Received 10+ media inquiries to talk about #AI:
- danger of deep fakes
- danger of ChatGPT
- danger of TikTok filters
- danger of voice cloning
- danger of big tech dominance
Not disagreeing with certain issues, but I'd also love to share my excitement about new opportunities!
Excited to share "Learning Neural Parametric Head Models" #CVPR2023!
We capture over 5200 high-quality 3D human head scans from which we build a neural parametric head model that disentangles & expressions and deformations.
Core of our representation is an ensemble of local MLPs to facilitate high geometric detail. We will release the entire data asap!

Preparing our "Introduction to Deep Learning" course!
Almost done automating myself with my #AI avatar :)
