DiffusionPhase synthesizes realistic human motion from text prompts by operating in the frequency domain, addressing limitations in generating long, arbitrary-length sequences and achieving smooth transitions. The method maintains consistent quality for motions up to 5x the training length, outperforming existing time-domain diffusion models.

Key insights

  • Representing motion in the frequency domain through a learned periodic phase space allows for compact encoding and arbitrary-length generation.
  • The explicit inclusion of high-frequency components in the periodic representation enables capturing fine-grained motion details often missed by prior phase-based methods.
  • Conditioning the diffusion model on both text prompts and starting poses facilitates smooth, natural transitions between different motion segments.
