Overview of Motion-I2V. The first stage of Motion-I2V targets at deducing the motions that can plausibly animate the reference image. It is conditioned on the reference image and text prompt, and predicts the motion field maps between the reference frame and all the future frames. The second stage propagates reference image’s content to synthesize frames. A novel motion-augmented temporal layer enhances 1-D temporal attention with warped features. This operation enlarges the temporal receptive field and alleviates the complexity of directly learning the complicated spatial-temporal patterns.
