About this paper

MVLift estimates global 3D motion, including joint rotations and root trajectories, solely from 2D pose sequences during training. This method demonstrates performance superior to some 3D-supervised baselines, particularly in root translation accuracy, and generalizes effectively to animal motion and human-object interactions.

Key insights

  • Multi-view consistency, essential for 3D motion reconstruction, can be progressively inferred and learned solely from single-view 2D pose sequences.
  • 2D motion diffusion models are effective at learning plausible motion priors, which are critical for resolving depth ambiguities in 3D lifting from 2D inputs.
  • Synthetic generation of strictly geometrically consistent multi-view 2D data provides high-quality supervision for training an efficient multi-view diffusion model for 3D inference.
