Researchers introduce "Holistic-Motion2D," a large-scale 2D whole-body human motion dataset, along with "Tender," a model designed for generating diverse 2D motions from text descriptions. The framework achieves improved motion quality and text-motion alignment, demonstrating its utility for applications like human video generation and 3D motion lifting.

Key insights

  • Focusing on 2D human motion generation offers a scalable and reliable alternative to 3D, capitalizing on abundant 2D video data and robust 2D pose estimation capabilities.
  • Modeling whole-body movements with a part-aware attention mechanism (PA-VAE) and incorporating confidence scores (CAG) are effective for synthesizing high-fidelity 2D motions and handling real-world data complexities like occlusions.
  • Training both generation and retrieval models on a significantly larger and more diverse 2D dataset improves performance, generalization, and text-motion alignment compared to existing 3D-centric approaches.
