• Abstract: Existing deep models predict 2D and 3D kinematic poses from video that are approximately accurate, but contain visible errors that violate physical constraints, such as feet penetrating the ground and bodies leaning at extreme angles. In this paper, we present a physics-based method for inferring 3D human motion from video sequences that takes initial 2D and 3D pose estimates as input. We first estimate ground contact timings with a novel prediction network which is trained without hand-labeled data. A physics-based trajectory optimization then solves for a physically-plausible motion, based on the inputs. We show this process produces motions that are significantly more realistic than those from purely kinematic methods, substantially improving quantitative measures of both kinematic and dynamic plausibility. We demonstrate our method on character animation and pose estimation tasks on dynamic motions of dancing and sports with complex contact patterns.

  We propose a novel method to selectively incorporate the physics models with the kinematics observations in an online setting. A recurrent neural network is introduced to realize a Kalman filter that attentively balances the kinematics input and simulated motion. The proposed approach excels in the physics-based human pose estimation task and demonstrates the physical plausibility of the predictive dynamics.

  We aim to tackle the interesting yet challenging problem of generating videos of diverse and natural human motions from prescribed action categories. Key issue lies in the ability to synthesize multiple distinct motion sequences that are realistic in their visual appearances. Action2motionally generates plausible 3D pose sequences of a prescribed action category, which are processed and rendered by motion2video to form 2D videos.
