Abstract

Human Cinemegraph Generation

Methodology

We propose solving this problem in normal space. By doing so, it is possible to tackle the problem without real data.

Pipeline

Problem Decomposition

Here we detail how we decompose the problem to approach it through the normal space.

Stage 2: Cyclic and Controllable Animation (Sec 3.1)

Wind Cyclic UNet

Stage 3: Normal Guided Synthesis (Sec. 3.2)

Input

Normal map

Animation

Shading

Reflectance

RGB

Synthetic Data

We train our Cyclic and Controllable UNet using only synthetic data.

Comparison

We compare results obtained with a state-of-the-art method and variations of our approach.

Wind Control

We illustrate here the possibility of controlling the generated video with the wind direction.
