What is ToonCrafter?
ToonCrafter is an innovative video diffusion model developed jointly by CUHK and Tencent AI Lab. It specializes in generating short cartoon animation sequences by interpolating between two still images while following text prompts. The model operates at a resolution of 512x320 and can generate 16 video frames, effectively creating smooth 2-second animations at 8 FPS.
Implementation Details
The model is built upon the DynamiCrafter-interpolation architecture and employs advanced diffusion techniques to create seamless transitions between starting and ending frames. It processes both visual and textual inputs to generate contextually appropriate animations.
