Our project showcases the remarkable capabilities of the TPS (Thin Plate Spline) algorithm in animating a wasp image based on driving videos. Below, you will find a series of output videos demonstrating the versatility and effectiveness of our models, with a special emphasis on the last GIF which represents the pinnacle of our custom training efforts.

Wasp Animated by Human Motion
In our first demonstration, we use a TPS pre-trained model to animate a wasp figure, identified by a distinctive blue dot, using a human driving video. This showcases the model's ability to transfer complex human movements to a significantly different creature like a wasp.

Wasp Animated by Wasp Motion (Pre-Trained Model)
Here, the same pre-trained TPS model animates our wasp figure using a driving video of another wasp. This test illustrates the model's initial testing on more congruent source and target pairs.

Enhanced Wasp Animation with Custom Training
The culmination of our project thus far is presented in this output, where we've applied a TPS model that underwent custom training specifically tailored to the nuances of wasp motion. This GIF not only demonstrates a significant improvement in the fidelity and naturalism of the wasp animation but also highlights the effectiveness of our specialized training regimen. The precise movements, much closer to natural wasp actions, underscore the value of custom training for specific animation goals.
