• Abstract summary: This paper proposes a new approach for joint markerless 3D human motion capture and object trajectory estimation from monocular RGB videos. We focus on scenes with objects partially observed during a free flight. In the experiments, our approach achieves state-of-the-art accuracy in 3D human motion capture on various metrics.

• Abstract: This paper proposes GraviCap, i.e., a new approach for joint markerless 3D human motion capture and object trajectory estimation from monocular RGB videos. We focus on scenes with objects partially observed during a free flight. In contrast to existing monocular methods, we can recover scale, object trajectories as well as human bone lengths in meters and the ground plane's orientation, thanks to the awareness of the gravity constraining object motions. Our objective function is parametrised by the object's initial velocity and position, gravity direction and focal length, and jointly optimised for one or several free flight episodes. The proposed human-object interaction constraints ensure geometric consistency of the 3D reconstructions and improved physical plausibility of human poses compared to the unconstrained case. We evaluate GraviCap on a new dataset with ground-truth annotations for persons and different objects undergoing free flights. In the experiments, our approach achieves state-of-the-art accuracy in 3D human motion capture on various metrics. We urge the reader to watch our supplementary video. Both the source code and the dataset are released; see http://4dqv.mpi-inf.mpg.de/GraviCap/.

  We propose a novel method to track the 3D human, object, contacts between them, and their relative translation across frames from a single RGB camera. We condition our neural field reconstructions for human and object on per-frame SMPL model estimates obtained by pre-fitting SMPL to a video sequence. Human and object motion from visible frames provides valuable information to infer the occluded object.

  We propose LEMO: LEarning human MOtion priors for 4D human body capture. We introduce a novel motion prior, which reduces the jitters exhibited by poses recovered over a sequence. We also design a contact friction term and a contact-aware motion infiller obtained via per-instance self-supervised training. With our pipeline, we demonstrate high-quality 4D human body capture, reconstructing smooth motions and physically plausible body-scene interactions.

Our dataset consists of several common articulated objects captured from diverse real-world scenes and camera viewpoints. We leverage the estimated 3D human pose for more accurate inference of the object spatial layout and dynamics.
