What are MiniMates?

MiniMates is a high-performance, lightweight digital human driving algorithm with both voice and facial expression driving modes, capable of real-time operation on ordinary computers. Based on an advanced technical architecture, it provides an exceptionally fast experience and personalized customization features, allowing users to tailor their AI companion to their specific needs. MiniMates boasts superior performance and flexibility, offering users a powerful digital human driving solution suitable for various application scenarios.

MiniMates' main functions

  • Voice-drivenIt supports digital humans to perform corresponding actions and facial expressions based on voice commands.
  • Facial expression drivenDigital humans simulate facial expressions based on input facial expression information.
  • Real-time performanceReal-time digital human motion and facial expression control on ordinary computers.
  • Personalized customizationUsers can customize the appearance and behavior of their digital human according to their needs.
  • Cross-platform compatibilityIt runs on a variety of devices, including discrete graphics cards, integrated graphics cards, and even CPUs.

MiniMates' technical principles

  • oarse-to-fine wrap network architectureMiniMates uses a coarse-to-fine network architecture to replace the traditional dense motion method, thereby improving performance on the CPU.
  • Explicit UV mapping technologyMiniMates uses explicit UV mapping technology to improve the accuracy of human portraits, making the expressions and movements of digital humans more realistic.
  • One-shot driven by a single image.MiniMates supports single-image-driven operation; users only need to provide one image, and the algorithm generates the corresponding digital human model.
  • Cross-platform inference frameworkMiniMates does not depend on Python and CUDA and runs on a variety of inference frameworks, including PyTorch and TensorFlow.
  • Performance optimizationMiniMates demonstrates excellent FPS (frame rate) performance across different devices and inference frameworks, especially on high-performance GPUs.
