• Abstract summary: Social interaction is a fundamental aspect of human behavior and communication. We present a novel approach that learns a prior over the 3D proxemics two people in close social interaction. Our approach recovers accurate and plausible 3D social interactions from noisy initial estimates, outperforming state-of-the-art methods.

• Abstract: Social interaction is a fundamental aspect of human behavior and communication. The way individuals position themselves in relation to others, also known as proxemics, conveys social cues and affects the dynamics of social interaction. Reconstructing such interaction from images presents challenges because of mutual occlusion and the limited availability of large training datasets. To address this, we present a novel approach that learns a prior over the 3D proxemics two people in close social interaction and demonstrate its use for single-view 3D reconstruction. We start by creating 3D training data of interacting people using image datasets with contact annotations. We then model the proxemics using a novel denoising diffusion model called BUDDI that learns the joint distribution over the poses of two people in close social interaction. Sampling from our generative proxemics model produces realistic 3D human interactions, which we validate through a perceptual study. We use BUDDI in reconstructing two people in close proximity from a single image without any contact annotation via an optimization approach that uses the diffusion model as a prior. Our approach recovers accurate and plausible 3D social interactions from noisy initial estimates, outperforming state-of-the-art methods. Our code, data, and model are availableat our project website at: muelea.github.io/buddi.

  G-HOP is a denoising diffusion based generative prior for hand-object interactions. We represent the human hand via a skeletal distance field to obtain a representation aligned with the signed distance field for the object. We show that this hand-object prior can then serve as generic guidance to facilitate other tasks like reconstruction from interaction clip and human grasp synthesis.

We propose to leverage knowledge from proxemic behavior and physics to compensate the lack of visual information.

  This paper addresses a novel task of anticipating 3D human-object interactions (HOIs) Our task is significantly more challenging, as it requires modeling dynamic objects with various shapes, capturing whole-body motion, and ensuring physically valid interactions. Experiments on multiple human-object interaction datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our method for this task, capable of producing realistic, vivid, and remarkably long-term 3D HOI predictions.

  We present a method for teaching machines to understand and model the underlying spatial common sense of diverse human-object interactions in 3D. We show multiple 2D images captured from different viewpoints when humans interact with the same type of objects. Despite its imperfection of the image quality over real images, we demonstrate that the synthesized images are sufficient to learn the 3D human-object spatial relations.

Given a 3D mesh of a previously unseen scene, we can predict affordance locations that support the interactions and generate corresponding articulated 3D human bodies around them. Results show that our one-shot approach outperforms data-intensive baselines by up to 80%.
