CLIPme if you can!
CLIP is a powerful tool to match images to text descriptions. It can be used for classification of ImageNet classes as shown in the original paper, but it can also be used to assign names of (famous) people to images.

3DV 2021 - Tutorial on the Advances in Neural Rendering
In this tutorial, we will talk about the advances in neural rendering, especially the underlying 2D and 3D representations that allow for novel viewpoint synthesis, controllability and editability. Specifically, we will discuss neural rendering methods based on 2D GANs, techniques using 3D Neural Radiance Fields or learnable sphere proxies. Besides methods that handle static content, we will talk about dynamic content as well.

EU Commission: Information Manipulation
Invited by the EU Commission, we showed a demo for real-time facial reenactment of a monocular target video sequence (e.g., Youtube video). The topic of the conference was how to protect the election process (EU elections 2019) against interference from outside (cyber crime, fake news).
2018, Oct 02 — 1 minute read [Paper] [Video] [Bibtex]ECCV 2018: Tutorial on Face Tracking and its Applications
This invited tutorial is about monocular face tracking techniques and also discusses the possible applications. It is based on our Eurographics state-of-the-art report.
2018, Sep 08 — 1 minute read [Paper] [Bibtex]Eurographics 2018: State of the Art on Monocular 3D Face Reconstruction, Tracking, and Applications
This state-of-the-art report session summarizes recent trends in monocular facial performance capture and discusses its applications, which range from performance-based animation to real-time facial reenactment. We focus on methods where the central task is to recover and track a three dimensional model of the human face using optimization-based reconstruction algorithms.

SIGGRAPH Emerging Technologies: Demo of FaceVR
We present a novel method for the interactive markerless reconstruction of human heads using a single commodity RGB‐D sensor. Our entire reconstruction pipeline is implemented on the graphics processing unit and allows to obtain high‐quality reconstructions of the human head using an interactive and intuitive reconstruction paradigm.

FaceInCar Demo at the National IT Summit 2016
We demonstrate the capabilities of the dense face fitting proposed in Face2Face in the challenging scenario of face tracking in a car including occlusions and strong varying light situations.
2016, Nov 17 — 2 minute readSIGGRAPH Emerging Technologies: Real-time Face Capture and Reenactment of RGB Videos
We show a demo for real-time facial reenactment of a monocular target video sequence (e.g., Youtube video). Our goal is to animate the facial expressions of a target video by a source actor and re-render the manipulated output video in a photo-realistic fashion.
