• Abstract: We present DuoMo, a generative method that recovers human motion in world-space coordinates from unconstrained videos with noisy or incomplete observations. Reconstructing such motion requires solving a fundamental trade-off: generalizing from diverse and noisy video inputs while maintaining global motion consistency. Our approach addresses this problem by factorizing motion learning into two diffusion models. The camera-space model first estimates motion from videos in camera coordinates. The world-space model then lifts this initial estimate into world coordinates and refines it to be globally consistent. Together, the two models can reconstruct motion across diverse scenes and trajectories, even from highly noisy or incomplete observations. Moreover, our formulation is general, generating the motion of mesh vertices directly and bypassing parametric models. DuoMo achieves state-of-the-art performance. On EMDB, our method obtains a 16% reduction in world-space reconstruction error while maintaining low foot skating. On RICH, it obtains a 30% reduction in world-space error.

  We propose a novel Ground-aware Motion Model for 3D Human Motion Reconstruction, named GraMMaR. GraMMaR learns the distribution of transitions in both pose and interaction between every joint and ground plane at each time step of a motion sequence. It is trained to explicitly promote consistency between the motion and distance change towards the ground.
