| contents | Talking Head Generation (THG) has emerged as a transformative technology in computer vision, enabling the synthesis of realistic human faces synchronized with image, audio, text, or video inputs. This paper provides a comprehensive review of methodologies and frameworks for talking head generation, categorizing approaches into 2D--based, 3D--based, Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF)--based, diffusion--based, parameter-driven techniques and many other techniques. It evaluates algorithms, datasets, and evaluation metrics while highlighting advancements in perceptual realism and technical efficiency critical for applications such as digital avatars, video dubbing, ultra-low bitrate video conferencing, and online education. The study identifies challenges such as reliance on pre--trained models, extreme pose handling, multilingual synthesis, and temporal consistency. Future directions include modular architectures, multilingual datasets, hybrid models blending pre--trained and task-specific layers, and innovative loss functions. By synthesizing existing research and exploring emerging trends, this paper aims to provide actionable insights for researchers and practitioners in the field of talking head generation.
