Image generation using one-dimensional inputs

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• generating an encoded 2D image template by encoding a 2D static template image;
• generating an encoded 1D feature vector by encoding a concatenation of a plurality of 1D vectors;
• generating an encoded 2D array of features by reshaping an arrangement of multiple features of the encoded 1D feature vector;
• concatenating the encoded 2D image template and the encoded 2D array of features;
• generating a fused tensor by fusing the encoded 2D image template with the encoded 2D array of features;
• and
• generating an image of a virtual human by decoding the fused tensor, wherein the image of the virtual human is changeable to a different virtual human in response to encoding a different 2D static template image.
