Key Points
- The paper proposes Any3DAvatar, a single-portrait method for reconstructing a full 3D head as 3D Gaussians that targets the long-standing quality-versus-speed trade-off.
- It claims sub-second performance (under one second in the fastest setting) while preserving high-fidelity geometry and texture compared with prior single-image full-head reconstruction approaches.
- The authors introduce AnyHead, a unified training data suite designed to improve coverage, full-head geometry, and complex appearance (including accessories) by combining identity diversity and dense multi-view supervision.
- Their approach uses a Plücker-aware structured 3D Gaussian scaffold with one-step conditional denoising (single forward pass) rather than unstructured noise sampling, aiming to retain detailed reconstruction quality.
- They add view-conditioned appearance supervision on latent tokens to enhance novel-view texture details without increasing inference cost.
