• Abstract: This paper proposes a novel application system for the generation of three-dimensional (3D) character animation driven by markerless human body motion capturing. The entire pipeline of the system consists of five stages: 1) the capturing of motion data using multiple cameras, 2) detection of the two-dimensional (2D) human body joints, 3) estimation of the 3D joints, 4) calculation of bone transformation matrices, and 5) generation of character animation. The main objective of this study is to generate a 3D skeleton and animation for 3D characters using multi-view images captured by ordinary cameras. The computational complexity of the 3D skeleton reconstruction based on 3D vision has been reduced as needed to achieve frame-by-frame motion capturing. The experimental results reveal that our system can effectively and efficiently capture human actions and use them to animate 3D cartoon characters in real-time.

  We construct a large-scale multi-modal 3D facial animation dataset, MMHead. MMHead consists of 49 hours of 3D facial motion sequences, speech audios, and rich hierarchical text annotations. Based on the MMHead dataset, we establish benchmarks for two new tasks: text-induced 3D talking head animation and text-to-3D facial motion generation.

  We propose to estimate point trajectories in 3D space to mitigate the issues caused by image projection. Our method, named SpatialTracker, lifts 2D pixels to 3D using monocular depth estimators. Tracking in 3D allows us to leverage as-rigid-as-possible (ARAP) constraints while simultaneously learning a rigidity embedding that clusters pixels into different rigid parts.

  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.
