Open Source Projects

If you like to make hilarious spoofs on social media or want to magically transform yourself in a video conference, AI face-swapping technology may become your most capable assistant! As deep learning continues to advance, face-swapping technology is no longer a fantasy tool in sci-fi movies, but has become accessible. And, today we're going to talk about 5 open-source projects that will definitely help you have more fun - and for free! 1. DeepFaceLive Imagine in a video conference, suddenly "change" yourself into your favorite star, or live in a second into a cool character! Wouldn't that be fun? Features: Focus on real-time face...

Hello everyone, in this era of rapid development of AI technology, face replacement technology is no longer a new thing. Whether in the fields of virtual anchors, short video creation or film and television production, the demand for face recognition and replacement is growing. However, traditional face replacement models often require a lot of data training, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also has a certain technical threshold. Today, I would like to introduce to you an open source project that is easy to use and supports one-click real-time AI face replacement—ReHiFace-S, which makes face replacement technology within reach. ReHiFace-S: The magic of one-click face replacement ReHi…

ToonCrafter is a generative cartoon interpolation tool developed by researchers from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, City University of Hong Kong, and Tencent AI Lab. It uses pre-trained image-to-video diffusion priors to interpolate two cartoon images. It is mainly used to generate smooth cartoon animations, suitable for applications such as cartoon sketch interpolation and reference-based sketch coloring. By uploading the starting and ending cartoon images, ToonCrafter can automatically generate smooth animation transitions, greatly improving the efficiency and quality of animation production. ToonCrafter Features Cartoon Interpolation: Ability to interpolate between two images…

The HuggingFace open source project "LeRobot" has released a detailed guide that fully introduces the entire process of assembling, configuring, and training an AI robot. The project aims to lower the entry barrier for AI in the field of robotics and support the open source ecosystem in the field of robotics. LeRobot co-founder Remi Cadene said that this step-by-step guide is aimed at a wider audience and hopes to popularize AI-driven robotics and encourage innovation in the field. The guide is based on the open source robot kit Koch v1…

Fudan open source project Hallo, a project that generates speaking videos based on audio and pictures, has been adapted to the ComfyUI plug-in. Although the installation process requires many dependencies and the threshold is relatively high, the emergence of this open source ecosystem provides more possibilities and fun for subsequent redrawing and other processes. The Hallo project can make facial photos start talking by inputting audio, accompanied by corresponding expressions, and the effect looks very natural. This project adopts an end-to-end diffusion paradigm and introduces a layered audio-driven visual synthesis module to improve the connection between audio input and visual output...

GitHub recently announced its 2024 accelerator program, which will support 11 cutting-edge open source artificial intelligence projects. These selected projects cover a variety of fields such as machine learning frameworks, biomedical research, and AI model testing platforms, aiming to promote the innovation and application of AI technology. According to the plan, each selected project will receive up to $40,000 in sponsorship funds and up to $350,000 in technical support. These resources come from GitHub and its partners, including Microsoft Azure. GitHub said that this support…

Tencent's Tianqin Lab has just open-sourced the AI digital human MuseV project, the full name of which is: Infinite-length and High Fidelity Virtual Human Video Generation with Visual Conditioned Parallel Denoising. MuseV and its later released MuseTalk video lip sync...
