Berna Kabadayi

I am a Ph.D. student (2022-) at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, jointly supervised by Justus Thies and Gerard Pons-Moll.

I obtained my master's degree from the Technical University of Munich, where I was supervised by Angela Dai. I'm interested in computer graphics, 3D reconstruction and digital humans.

Joker uses single reference image to generate a 3D reconstruction with a novel extreme expression. The target expression is defined through 3DMM parameters and text prompts.

A person-specific animatable avatars from images without assuming access to precise facial expression tracking. We leverage a 3D-aware generative model and control it using 3DMM.

Reconstructing 360° photo-realistic portrait avatars of human subjects solely based on monocular video inputs.

A learning-based method that reconstructs the 3D objects by part-based template deformation. Instead of retrieving the exact CAD model for a partial scan object, we first retrieve the most geometrically similar template and then employing a bounding box regression to capture the object’s scale and translation, followed by a part-based deformation module.
