• Abstract summary: We present a novel method for populating 3D indoor scenes with virtual humans that can navigate in the environment and interact with objects in a realistic manner. Existing approaches rely on training sequences that contain captured human motions and the 3D scenes they interact with. We propose a reinforcement learning-based approach that enables virtual humans to navigate in 3D scenes and interact with objects realistically and autonomously.

• Abstract: We present a novel method for populating 3D indoor scenes with virtual humans that can navigate in the environment and interact with objects in a realistic manner. Existing approaches rely on training sequences that contain captured human motions and the 3D scenes they interact with. However, such interaction data are costly, difficult to capture, and can hardly cover all plausible human-scene interactions in complex environments. To address these challenges, we propose a reinforcement learning-based approach that enables virtual humans to navigate in 3D scenes and interact with objects realistically and autonomously, driven by learned motion control policies. The motion control policies employ latent motion action spaces, which correspond to realistic motion primitives and are learned from large-scale motion capture data using a powerful generative motion model. For navigation in a 3D environment, we propose a scene-aware policy with novel state and reward designs for collision avoidance. Combined with navigation mesh-based path-finding algorithms to generate intermediate waypoints, our approach enables the synthesis of diverse human motions navigating in 3D indoor scenes and avoiding obstacles. To generate fine-grained human-object interactions, we carefully curate interaction goal guidance using a marker-based body representation and leverage features based on the signed distance field (SDF) to encode human-scene proximity relations. Our method can synthesize realistic and diverse human-object interactions (e.g.,~sitting on a chair and then getting up) even for out-of-distribution test scenarios with different object shapes, orientations, starting body positions, and poses. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of both motion naturalness and diversity.

  Previous auto-regression-based 3D scene generation methods have struggled to accurately capture the joint distribution of multiple objects and input humans. We introduce two spatial collision guidance mechanisms: human-object collision avoidance and object-room boundary constraints. Our framework can generate more natural and plausible 3D scenes with precise human-scene interactions.

Here, language descriptions inform style and intent, and waypoints, which can be effectively extracted from high-level planning, ground the motion in the scene. Our module seamlessly integrates with a path planning module, enabling the generation of long-term interactions in 3D environments.

  Human-scene Interaction (HSI) generation is a challenging task and crucial for various downstream tasks. In this work, we argue that interaction with a scene is essentially interacting with the space occupancy of the scene from an abstract physical perspective. By treating pure motion sequences as records of humans interacting with invisible scene occupancy, we can aggregate motion-only data into a large-scale paired human-occupancy interaction database.

  We present a framework that enables physically simulated characters to perform long-term interaction tasks in diverse, cluttered, and unseen scenes. Specifically, InterCon contains two complementary policies that enable characters to enter and leave the interacting state. To generate interaction with objects at different places, we further design NavCon, a trajectory following policy, to keep characters' motions in the free space of 3D scenes.
