Meta's AI Project Enables Users To Create Animated Figures From Doodles
Meta, formerly known as Facebook, has released an AI project called Animated Drawings as open source. With this project, anyone can turn their drawings into animated figures. Animated Drawings utilizes various techniques, such as object detection models, pose estimation models, and image processing-based segmentation methods, to digitally capture a drawing. Meta's intention is to enable other developers to innovate and provide users with more diverse and immersive experiences.
After uploading a drawing, the user can adjust it using a pen and eraser before adjusting the joint placements. Once completed, the tool generates an animated version of the sketch. It then offers a range of pre-set animations from four categories, which include dance, funny, jumping, and walking. The project is accompanied by a dataset comprising around 180,000 drawings, and Meta intends to release it as an open-source tool.
