We present THUNDR, a transformer-based deep neural network methodology to reconstruct the 3d pose and shape of people, given monocular RGB images. Key to our methodology is an intermediate 3d marker representation, where we aim to combine the predictive power of model-free-output architectures and the regularizing, anthropometrically-preserving properties of a statistical human surface model like GHUM -- a recently introduced, expressive full body statistical 3d human model, trained end-to-end. Our novel transformer-based prediction pipeline can focus on image regions relevant to the task, supports self-supervised regimes, and ensures that solutions are consistent with human anthropometry. We show state-of-the-art results on Human3.6M and 3DPW, for both the fully-supervised and the self-supervised models, for the task of inferring 3d human shape, joint positions, and global translation. Moreover, we observe very solid 3d reconstruction performance for difficult human poses collected in the wild.

Deep CNN-based methods have so far achieved the state of the art results in multi-view 3D object reconstruction. Despite the considerable progress, the two core modules of these methods - multi-view feature extraction and fusion, are usually investig ated separately, and the object relations in different views are rarely explored. In this paper, inspired by the recent great success in self-attention-based Transformer models, we reformulate the multi-view 3D reconstruction as a sequence-to-sequence prediction problem and propose a new framework named 3D Volume Transformer (VolT) for such a task. Unlike previous CNN-based methods using a separate design, we unify the feature extraction and view fusion in a single Transformer network. A natural advantage of our design lies in the exploration of view-to-view relationships using self-attention among multiple unordered inputs. On ShapeNet - a large-scale 3D reconstruction benchmark dataset, our method achieves a new state-of-the-art accuracy in multi-view reconstruction with fewer parameters ($70%$ less) than other CNN-based methods. Experimental results also suggest the strong scaling capability of our method. Our code will be made publicly available.

Despite great progress in 3D human pose estimation from videos, it is still an open problem to take full advantage of redundant 2D pose sequences to learn representative representation for generating one single 3D pose. To this end, we propose an imp roved Transformer-based architecture, called Strided Transformer, for 3D human pose estimation in videos to lift a sequence of 2D joint locations to a 3D pose. Specifically, a vanilla Transformer encoder (VTE) is adopted to model long-range dependencies of 2D pose sequences. To reduce redundancy of the sequence and aggregate information from local context, strided convolutions are incorporated into VTE to progressively reduce the sequence length. The modified VTE is termed as strided Transformer encoder (STE) which is built upon the outputs of VTE. STE not only effectively aggregates long-range information to a single-vector representation in a hierarchical global and local fashion but also significantly reduces the computation cost. Furthermore, a full-to-single supervision scheme is designed at both the full sequence scale and single target frame scale, applied to the outputs of VTE and STE, respectively. This scheme imposes extra temporal smoothness constraints in conjunction with the single target frame supervision and improves the representation ability of features for the target frame. The proposed architecture is evaluated on two challenging benchmark datasets, Human3.6M and HumanEva-I, and achieves state-of-the-art results with much fewer parameters.
This paper proposes GraviCap, i.e., a new approach for joint markerless 3D human motion capture and object trajectory estimation from monocular RGB videos. We focus on scenes with objects partially observed during a free flight. In contrast to existi ng monocular methods, we can recover scale, object trajectories as well as human bone lengths in meters and the ground planes orientation, thanks to the awareness of the gravity constraining object motions. Our objective function is parametrised by the objects initial velocity and position, gravity direction and focal length, and jointly optimised for one or several free flight episodes. The proposed human-object interaction constraints ensure geometric consistency of the 3D reconstructions and improved physical plausibility of human poses compared to the unconstrained case. We evaluate GraviCap on a new dataset with ground-truth annotations for persons and different objects undergoing free flights. In the experiments, our approach achieves state-of-the-art accuracy in 3D human motion capture on various metrics. We urge the reader to watch our supplementary video. Both the source code and the dataset are released; see http://4dqv.mpi-inf.mpg.de/GraviCap/.
In this paper, we propose a novel Transformer-based architecture for the task of generative modelling of 3D human motion. Previous works commonly rely on RNN-based models considering shorter forecast horizons reaching a stationary and often implausib le state quickly. Instead, our focus lies on the generation of plausible future developments over longer time horizons. To mitigate the issue of convergence to a static pose, we propose a novel architecture that leverages the recently proposed self-attention concept. The task of 3D motion prediction is inherently spatio-temporal and thus the proposed model learns high dimensional embeddings for skeletal joints followed by a decoupled temporal and spatial self-attention mechanism. This allows the model to access past information directly and to capture spatio-temporal dependencies explicitly. We show empirically that this reduces error accumulation over time and allows for the generation of perceptually plausible motion sequences over long time horizons up to 20 seconds as well as accurate short-term predictions.

Monocular 3D human pose and shape estimation is challenging due to the many degrees of freedom of the human body and thedifficulty to acquire training data for large-scale supervised learning in complex visual scenes. In this paper we present practic al semi-supervised and self-supervised models that support training and good generalization in real-world images and video. Our formulation is based on kinematic latent normalizing flow representations and dynamics, as well as differentiable, semantic body part alignment loss functions that support self-supervised learning. In extensive experiments using 3D motion capture datasets like CMU, Human3.6M, 3DPW, or AMASS, as well as image repositories like COCO, we show that the proposed methods outperform the state of the art, supporting the practical construction of an accurate family of models based on large-scale training with diverse and incompletely labeled image and video data.
