• Abstract summary: We present a method to estimate human motion in a global scene from moving cameras. This is a highly challenging task due to the coupling of human and camera motions in the video. We propose a joint optimization framework that disentangles human and camera motions using both foreground human motion priors and background scene features.

• Abstract: We present a method to estimate human motion in a global scene from moving cameras. This is a highly challenging task due to the coupling of human and camera motions in the video. To address this problem, we propose a joint optimization framework that disentangles human and camera motions using both foreground human motion priors and background scene features. Unlike existing methods that use SLAM as initialization, we propose to tightly integrate SLAM and human motion priors in an optimization that is inspired by bundle adjustment. Specifically, we optimize human and camera motions to match both the observed human pose and scene features. This design combines the strengths of SLAM and motion priors, which leads to significant improvements in human and camera motion estimation. We additionally introduce a motion prior that is suitable for batch optimization, making our approach significantly more efficient than existing approaches. Finally, we propose a novel synthetic dataset that enables evaluating camera motion in addition to human motion from dynamic videos. Experiments on the synthetic and real-world RICH datasets demonstrate that our approach substantially outperforms prior art in recovering both human and camera motions.

  We present PACE, a novel method for modifying motion-captured virtual agents to interact with and move throughout dense, cluttered 3D scenes. Our approach changes a given motion sequence of a virtual agent as needed to adjust to the obstacles and objects in the environment. We compare our method with prior motion generating techniques and highlight the benefits of our method with a perceptual study and physical plausibility metrics.

  Estimating human motion from video is an active research area due to its many potential applications.

  We present an approach for 3D global human mesh recovery from monocular videos recorded with dynamic cameras. We first propose a deep generative motion infiller, which autoregressively infills the body motions of occluded humans based on visible motions. In contrast to prior work, our approach reconstructs human meshes in consistent global coordinates even with dynamic cameras.
