• Abstract summary: This paper tackles the problem of human motion prediction, consisting in forecasting future body poses from historically observed sequences. We show that the performance of these approaches can be surpassed by a light-weight and purely architectural architecture with only 0.14M parameters. An exhaustive evaluation on Human3.6M, AMASS and 3DPW datasets shows that our method, which we dub siMLPe, consistently outperforms all other approaches.

• Abstract: This paper tackles the problem of human motion prediction, consisting in forecasting future body poses from historically observed sequences. Despite of their performance, current state-of-the-art approaches rely on deep learning architectures of arbitrary complexity, such as Recurrent Neural Networks~(RNN), Transformers or Graph Convolutional Networks~(GCN), typically requiring multiple training stages and more than 3 million of parameters. In this paper we show that the performance of these approaches can be surpassed by a light-weight and purely MLP architecture with only 0.14M parameters when appropriately combined with several standard practices such as representing the body pose with Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), predicting residual displacement of joints and optimizing velocity as an auxiliary loss. An exhaustive evaluation on Human3.6M, AMASS and 3DPW datasets shows that our method, which we dub siMLPe, consistently outperforms all other approaches. We hope that our simple method could serve a strong baseline to the community and allow re-thinking the problem of human motion prediction and whether current benchmarks do really need intricate architectural designs.

  Video-based 3D human pose and shape estimations are evaluated by intra-frame accuracy and inter-frame smoothness. We propose to structurally decouple the modeling of long-term and short-term correlations in an end-to-end framework, Global-to-Local Transformer (GLoT) Our GLoT surpasses previous state-of-the-art methods with the lowest model parameters on popular benchmarks, i.e., 3DPW, MPI-INF-3DHP, and Human3.6M.

  We learn a prior that restricts the SMPL parameters to values that produce realistic poses via adversarial training. We show that our learned prior covers the diversity of the real-data distribution, facilitates optimization for 3D reconstruction from 2D keypoints, and yields better pose estimates when used for regression from images.
