Abstract
In this work, we introduce a novel high-fidelity full-head 3D avatar generation method from a single image, regardless of perspective, style, expression, or accessories. Prior works often fail to preserve consistent head geometry and facial details, primarily due to their limited capacity in modeling fine-grained facial textures and maintaining identity information. To address these challenges, we construct a new high-quality dataset containing 227 sequences of digital human portraits captured from 96 different perspectives, totaling 21,792 frames, featuring high-quality facial texture details. To further improve performance, we propose a novel multi-view diffusion model named ID-TS diffusion model, which integrates identity and expression information into the two-stage multi-view diffusion process. The low-resolution stage ensures structural consistency of heads across multiple views, while the high-resolution stage preserves facial detail fidelity and coherence. Finally, we propose an enhanced feed-forward Gaussian avatar reconstruction method that optimizes the network on multi-view images of each single subject, significantly improving 3D facial texture details. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method achieves robust performance across challenging scenarios, while showcasing broad applicability across numerous downstream tasks.
