About this paper
EDGAR is a conditional diffusion framework with a fusion block and Mixture-of-Experts that refines degraded Gaussian head avatars by injecting self-supervised identity features, using refined multi-view renderings as pseudo-targets to optimize a single avatar.
Recent advances in Gaussian splatting have enabled efficient and photorealistic head avatar reconstruction, yet monocular video-based or image-based methods still suffer from under-constrained geometry and texture, leading to artifacts such as blurring, stretching, and temporal instability. We present EDGAR (Efficient Diffusion-Driven Gaussian Avatar Refinement), a conditional diffusion framework designed to enhance the quality of Gaussian avatars by correcting artifacts while preserving identity fidelity. To train EDGAR, we construct EDGAR-SET, a hybrid triplet dataset composed of real-captured and synthetic-rendered samples, which simulates realistic Gaussian avatar failure cases by…
