• Abstract summary: We propose estimating human poses in a novel Gravity-View coordinate system. The proposed GV system is naturally gravity-aligned and uniquely defined for each video frame. Our method recovers more realistic motion in both the camera space and world-grounded settings, outperforming state-of-the-art methods in both accuracy and speed.

• Abstract: We present a novel method for recovering world-grounded human motion from monocular video. The main challenge lies in the ambiguity of defining the world coordinate system, which varies between sequences. Previous approaches attempt to alleviate this issue by predicting relative motion in an autoregressive manner, but are prone to accumulating errors. Instead, we propose estimating human poses in a novel Gravity-View (GV) coordinate system, which is defined by the world gravity and the camera view direction. The proposed GV system is naturally gravity-aligned and uniquely defined for each video frame, largely reducing the ambiguity of learning image-pose mapping. The estimated poses can be transformed back to the world coordinate system using camera rotations, forming a global motion sequence. Additionally, the per-frame estimation avoids error accumulation in the autoregressive methods. Experiments on in-the-wild benchmarks demonstrate that our method recovers more realistic motion in both the camera space and world-grounded settings, outperforming state-of-the-art methods in both accuracy and speed.

  Previous methods for 3D motion recovery from monocular images often fall short due to reliance on camera coordinates. We introduce W-HMR, a weak-supervised calibration method that predicts "reasonable" focal lengths based on body distortion information. We also present the OrientCorrect module, which corrects body orientation for plausible reconstructions in world space.

  We present an approach for 3D global human mesh recovery from monocular videos recorded with dynamic cameras.

In contrast to prior work, our approach reconstructs human meshes in consistent global coordinates even with dynamic cameras.
