Live Portrait

Live Portrait is an advanced AI-driven portrait animation framework. Unlike mainstream diffusion-based methods, Live Portrait leverages an implicit-keypoint-based framework for creating lifelike animations from single source images.

Key Features of Live Portrait

  1. Efficient Animation: LivePortrait synthesizes lifelike videos from a single source image, using it as an appearance reference. The motion (facial expressions and head pose) is derived from a driving video, audio, text, or generation.

  2. Stitching and Retargeting: Instead of following traditional diffusion-based approaches, LivePortrait explores and extends the potential of implicit-keypoint-based techniques. This approach effectively balances realism and expressiveness.
