The network is gaining popularity Avatarify application - it allows you to revive any photo, including selfie, with artificial intelligence and neural network. It is enough to download your photo and choose one of the ready-made emotions or independently record the video, and the application "will impose" your facial expressions and movement of the head to the usual photo. It is surprising that all this is available completely free, so do not be surprised if all instagram will soon be in "live photos". How to revive the face in the photo?
Revive photo app
The application where the face is inserted into the video and dances, it works very simply, and you hardly have difficulty with him. Download Avatarify, provide access to the desired photo and choose what you want to "revive." After that, the application will propose to choose one of the finished GIF to impose emotions on the face - as a rule, these are famous personalities or frames from films, which are already superimposed by music, and you can see how it will still look like.
I did not wait to wait for a quick calf and decided to see how I would look like an Eminem, who reads his famous passage from the RAP GOD track. Here, as it looks like:
As it turned out, it is not necessary to take a new photo, you can choose any of the existing ones. Including ... not your own. Chapter Apple Tim Cook, for example, very "came" the track Dragostea Din Tei from the O-Zone group:
Similarly, you can enroll with any photo - for example, take a photo of the boss, write a short roller and impose your emotions and words on his face. Or another option is to use a photo of a child, any celebrity or animal. Unlike the Reface application, which I had previously told about, it does not just replace the face in the photo to another, this application also scans the facial expressions and imposes it on any picture.
I spent almost a day in Avatarify and created various funny videos and noticed a few moments. First, the application is best working with selfie, which are removed opposite one-photo objects - for example, walls. Secondly, it is better that nothing on his head is wearing; On my video above, for example, you can see that Airpods Max headphones remain motionless, and the head itself moves in different directions in the tact of music. In some cases, it really recognizes facial expressions and substitutes it in the photo, but much depends on the picture itself. In general, it does not prevent playing with the application and write a cool video for colleagues, friends or relatives, or play someone in our chat.
Revive photo online
This is not the only way to revive photos. So, the other day myHeritage started the Deep Nostalgia service, with which you can make movable initially static pictures. The service is available only in the browser and works much worse than avatarify. So for example, the same photo of Tim Cook (Deep Nostalgia simply "strives" movements and facial expressions, without music).
In most cases, the Mimic looks unnaturally, the person moves the eyes in different directions, and if the hair falls on the face, the neural network "breaks". For her perfect work, you need even photo on a monophonic background as a passport. Poor and the fact that the service cannot be selected or the animation area.
Yes, and looks sometimes very crypto.

It is interesting that in 2019, Russian scientists from the center of artificial intelligence Samsung Ai Center-Moscow in cooperation with engineers from the Skolkovsk Institute of Science and Technologies were developed for the "revival" of portraits. Our colleagues with Hi-News.ru have an excellent material in which you can see how it works.
I liked the "revive" photos with the Avatarify application, it works better, and it's much more convenient to do everything on the smartphone, and not open the site and upload photos. If the developers slightly finish the application, it will be great. From paid functions there is only the absence of a watermark on the "living" photo, but it seems to me that it does not interfere at all.
