Abstract
In some embodiments, a motion model refinement system receives an input video depicting a human character and an initial motion model describing motions of individual joint points of the human character in a three-dimensional space. The motion model refinement system identifies foot joint points of the human character that are in contact with a ground plane using a trained contact estimation model. The motion model refinement system determines the ground plane based on the foot joint points and the initial motion model and constructs an optimization problem for refining the initial motion model. The optimization problem minimizes the difference between the refined motion model and the initial motion model under a set of plausibility constraints including constraints on the contact foot joint points and a time-dependent inertia tensor-based constraint. The motion model refinement system obtains the refined motion model by solving the optimization problem.
