Abstract
Extraction of human poses from video data for animation of computer models. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method includes determining a first pose sequence of a human body model based on frames of an input video, the frames depicting movement of a person. The first pose sequence includes poses of the human body model that correspond to the video frames. The first pose sequence is updated to produce a second pose sequence, including, over multiple iterations, determining joint velocities of joints of the pose sequence, determining, in parallel, predicted poses from each of multiple poses of the pose sequence by encoding the joint velocities into parameters of a human motion prior, and based on comparing corresponding predicted poses, adjusting joint angles of the pose sequence. The second pose sequence can provide an animation of a computer model corresponding to the movement of the person in the input video.
