High-Fidelity Human Avatars from Laptop Webcams using Edge Compute

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2502.02468v2 Announce Type: replace Photo-realistic human avatars have broad applications, yet high-fidelity avatar generation has traditionally required expensive professional camera rigs and extensive artistic labor. Recent research has enabled constructing them automatically from smartphones with RGB and IR sensors, however, these new methods still rely on high-resolution cameras on modern smartphones and often require offloading the processing to powerful servers with GPUs.
