• Abstract: Data-driven approaches for modeling human skeletal motion have found various applications in interactive media and social robotics. Challenges remain in these fields for generating high-fidelity samples and robustly reconstructing motion from imperfect input data, due to e.g. missed marker detection. In this paper, we propose a probabilistic generative model to synthesize and reconstruct long horizon motion sequences conditioned on past information and control signals, such as the path along which an individual is moving. Our method adapts the existing work MoGlow by introducing a new graph-based model. The model leverages the spatial-temporal graph convolutional network (ST-GCN) to effectively capture the spatial structure and temporal correlation of skeletal motion data at multiple scales. We evaluate the models on a mixture of motion capture datasets of human locomotion with foot-step and bone-length analysis. The results demonstrate the advantages of our model in reconstructing missing markers and achieving comparable results on generating realistic future poses. When the inputs are imperfect, our model shows improvements on robustness of generation.

  Models of human motion commonly focus either on trajectory prediction or action classification but rarely both. Here we propose a novel architecture based on hierarchical variational autoencoders and deep graph convolutional neural networks for generating a holistic model of action over multiple time-scales. We show this Hierarchical Graph-conational Varivolutional Autoencoder (HG-VAE) to be capable of generating coherent actions, detecting out-of-distribution data, and imputing missing data by gradient ascent on the model's posterior.
