The prestigious academic conference in the field of artificial intelligence, IJCAI (International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence) 2024, officially kicked off. This year, OPPO AI Center latest research paper was officially selected for the IJCAI 2024 event. OPPO also made a grand appearance with multiple cutting-edge AI innovations and features, actively positioning itself at the forefront of continuous innovation in AI phones.
At the IJCAI 2024 conference, OPPO AI Center latest research paper, "Zero-shot High-fidelity and Pose-controllable Character Animation," was prominently featured, once again showcasing OPPO extensive tech expertise and continuous advancement in the AI field.
Currently, in the I2V (Image-to-Video) domain, the most common issues are inconsistent character appearances and poor detail retention, requiring vast amounts of video data for training and consuming significant computational resources. To address these challenges, OPPO AI Center introduced PoseAnimate, an innovative zero-shot I2V framework.
PoseAnimate leverages pose information to control the animation movements while maintaining scene content consistency. This framework achieves its goals through three key modules:
• Pose-Aware Control Module (PACM): Integrates various pose signals into text embeddings to retain content irrelevant to the character and ensure precise alignment of movements.
• Dual Consistency Attention Module (DCAM): Enhances temporal consistency, preserving character identity and intricate background details.
• Mask-Guided Decoupling Module (MGDM): Improves the fidelity of generated videos by decoupling characters from the background.
