• Abstract: We present EgoAllo, a system for human motion estimation from a head-mounted device. Using only egocentric SLAM poses and images, EgoAllo guides sampling from a conditional diffusion model to estimate 3D body pose, height, and hand parameters that capture the wearer's actions in the allocentric coordinate frame of the scene. To achieve this, our key insight is in representation: we propose spatial and temporal invariance criteria for improving model performance, from which we derive a head motion conditioning parameterization that improves estimation by up to 18%. We also show how the bodies estimated by our system can improve the hands: the resulting kinematic and temporal constraints result in over 40% lower hand estimation errors compared to noisy monocular estimates.

  We explore egocentric whole-body motion capture using a single fisheye camera, which simultaneously estimates human body and hand motion. This task presents significant challenges due to the lack of high-quality datasets, fisheye camera distortion, and human body self-occlusion. We propose a novel approach that leverages FisheyeViT to extract fisheye image features, which are converted into pixel-aligned 3D heatmap representations for 3D human body pose prediction.

We experimentally evaluate our method and show that it outperforms state-of-the-art methods both qualitatively and quantitatively.

  Estimating 3D human motion from an egocentric video sequence plays a critical role in human behavior understanding and has various applications in VR/AR. We propose a new method, Ego-Body Pose Estimation via Ego-Head Pose Estimation (EgoEgo), which decomposes the problem into two stages, connected by the head motion as an intermediate representation. This disentanglement of head and body pose eliminates the need for training datasets with paired egocentric videos and 3D human motion.
