SteadyDancer: Harmonized and Coherent Human Image Animation with First-Frame Preservation

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2511.19320v2 Announce Type: replace Preserving first-frame identity while ensuring precise motion control is a fundamental challenge in human image animation. The Image-to-Motion Binding process of the dominant Reference-to-Video (R2V) paradigm overlooks critical spatio-temporal misalignments common in real-world applications, leading to failures such as identity drift and visual artifacts. We
