Existing approaches typically adopt a conventional GAN with an L1 or L2 loss to produce the target fake video. We present an episodic memory module in the pose-to-appearance generation to propel continuous learning.

• Abstract: Human motion copy is an intriguing yet challenging task in artificial intelligence and computer vision, which strives to generate a fake video of a target person performing the motion of a source person. The problem is inherently challenging due to the subtle human-body texture details to be generated and the temporal consistency to be considered. Existing approaches typically adopt a conventional GAN with an L1 or L2 loss to produce the target fake video, which intrinsically necessitates a large number of training samples that are challenging to acquire. Meanwhile, current methods still have difficulties in attaining realistic image details and temporal consistency, which unfortunately can be easily perceived by human observers. Motivated by this, we try to tackle the issues from three aspects: (1) We constrain pose-to-appearance generation with a perceptual loss and a theoretically motivated Gromov-Wasserstein loss to bridge the gap between pose and appearance. (2) We present an episodic memory module in the pose-to-appearance generation to propel continuous learning that helps the model learn from its past poor generations. We also utilize geometrical cues of the face to optimize facial details and refine each key body part with a dedicated local GAN. (3) We advocate generating the foreground in a sequence-to-sequence manner rather than a single-frame manner, explicitly enforcing temporal inconsistency. Empirical results on five datasets, iPER, ComplexMotion, SoloDance, Fish, and Mouse datasets, demonstrate that our method is capable of generating realistic target videos while precisely copying motion from a source video. Our method significantly outperforms state-of-the-art approaches and gains 7.2% and 12.4% improvements in PSNR and FID respectively.

  We present MultiPly, a novel framework to reconstruct multiple people in 3D from monocular in-the-wild videos. We first define a layered neural representation for the entire scene, composited by individual human and background models. We learn the layered neural representation from videos via our layer-wise differentiable volume rendering.

  We present Masked Motion MME, a new pre-training paradigm that reconstructs both appearance and motion information to explore temporal clues. Motivated by the fact that human is able to recognize an action by tracking objects' position changes and shape changes, we propose to reconstruct a motion trajectory that represents these two kinds of change in the masked regions. Pre-trained with our MME paradigm, the model is able to anticipate long-term and fine-grained motion details.

  A compelling application of artificial intelligence is to generate a video of a target person performing arbitrary desired motion. Current methods typically employ GANs with a L2 loss to assess the authenticity of the generated videos. We propose a theoretically motivated Gromov-Wasserstein loss that facilitates learning the mapping from a pose to a foreground image. Our method is able to generate realistic target person videos, faithfully copying complex motions from a source person.

  Transfering human motion from a source to a target person poses great potential in computer vision and graphics applications. Previous work has either relied on crafted 3D human models or trained a separate model specifically for each target person. This work studies a more general setting, in which we aim to learn a single model to parsimoniously transfer motion from a source video to any target person.

  We tackle the problem of human motion transfer, where we synthesize novel motion video for a target person that imitates the movement from a reference video. It is a video-to-video translation task in which the estimated poses are used to bridge two domains. We introduce a novel pose-to-video translation framework for generating high-quality videos that are temporally coherent even for in-the-wild pose sequences unseen during training.
