Abstract In this work, we advance the neural head avatar technology to the megapixel resolution while focusing on the particularly challenging task of cross-driving synthesis, i.e., when the appearance of the driving image is substantially different from the animated source image.

Computer-generated satellite "photos" can be very difficult for humans and other machine learning algorithms to detect, a growing concern of national security officials who fear that doctored images might find their way into troops' hands or be used to sway public opinion. But help may be on the way.
