• Title: Enhancing Motion Variation in Text-to-Motion Models via Pose and Video Conditioned Editing
• Authors: Clayton Leite, Yu Xiao,
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel method that uses short video clips or images as conditions to modify existing basic motions. In this approach, the model's understanding of a kick serves as the prior, while the video or image of a football kick acts as the posterior. A user study with 26 participants demonstrated that our approach produces unseen motions with realism comparable to commonly represented motions in text-motion datasets.

• Abstract: Text-to-motion models that generate sequences of human poses from textual descriptions are garnering significant attention. However, due to data scarcity, the range of motions these models can produce is still limited. For instance, current text-to-motion models cannot generate a motion of kicking a football with the instep of the foot, since the training data only includes martial arts kicks. We propose a novel method that uses short video clips or images as conditions to modify existing basic motions. In this approach, the model's understanding of a kick serves as the prior, while the video or image of a football kick acts as the posterior, enabling the generation of the desired motion. By incorporating these additional modalities as conditions, our method can create motions not present in the training set, overcoming the limitations of text-motion datasets. A user study with 26 participants demonstrated that our approach produces unseen motions with realism comparable to commonly represented motions in text-motion datasets (e.g., HumanML3D), such as walking, running, squatting, and kicking.

  Given a 3D human motion, our goal is to generate an edited motion as described by the text. The challenges include the lack of training data and the design of a model that faithfully edits the source motion. We build a methodology to semi-automatically collect a dataset of triplets in the form of a source motion, (ii) a target motion, and (iii) an edit text, and create the new MotionFix dataset.

  We propose a pre-trained image-to-video model to disentangle appearance from motion. Our method, called motion-textual inversion, leverages our observation that image-to-video models extract appearance mainly from the (latent) image input. By operating on an inflated motion-text embedding containing multiple text/image embedding tokens per frame, we achieve a high temporal motion granularity. Our approach does not require spatial alignment between the motion reference video and target image, generalizes across various domains, and can be applied to various tasks.

  Existing diffusion-based motion editing methods overlook the profound potential of the prior embedded within the weights of pre-trained models. We uncover the roles and interactions of attention elements in capturing and representing motion patterns. We integrate these elements to transfer a leader motion to a follower one while maintaining the nuanced characteristics of the follower, resulting in zero-shot motion transfer.

  We introduce MotionCrafter, a one-shot instance-guided motion customization method. MotionCrafter employs a parallel spatial-temporal architecture that injects the reference motion into the temporal component of the base model. During training, a frozen base model provides appearance normalization, effectively separating appearance from motion.

  This work presents a practical system, named LivePhoto, which allows users to animate an image of their interest with text descriptions. We first establish a strong baseline that helps a well-learned text-to-image generator (i.e., Stable Diffusion) take an image as a further input. We then equip the improved generator with a motion module for temporal modeling and propose a carefully designed training pipeline to better link texts and motions.

Our method also supports various downstream applications, such as the mixing of different videos with their appearance and motion respectively, and animating a single image with customized motions.
