Summary
The InterDigital Immersive Video Lab is focused on advancing avatar-based communication. In this context, accurate and detailed human 3D data is essential for reliably estimating features such as facial expressions, body posture, skin texture, lighting conditions, background segmentation, hair segmentation, and more.
InterDigital has developed a proprietary framework for generating synthetic 3D facial image datasets. The next step is to enhance this framework to support the creation of 4D video sequences featuring full-body characters. This internship will contribute to the development and refinement of this extended capability.
Responsibilities
The goal of the internship will be to:
Study state of the art on face & body analysis models and synthetic data generation
Update the framework to full body with body animation
Upgrade the framework to output video sequences
Create and/or set up avatar elements (clothes, accessories, jewels etc.) Generate video datasets
Train neural networks on body pose estimation and/or face analysis
Qualifications
Master - computer graphics, 3D modeling, rendering, Maya/Houdini/Blender
Keywords: Avatar, Animation, Neural Networks
Expected Outcomes: Patents, Publications and Demos
Location: Rennes, France
