Pose2Muscle: Structured Spatio-Temporal Decoding for Discrete Muscle Activity Estimation from Human Pose

Pose2Muscle is a pose-driven framework that estimates discrete muscle activity states without requiring surface electromyography (sEMG) during inference. It reformulates muscle estimation as a structured prediction problem, using multi-scale spatio-temporal attention and a directed acyclic graph-based decoder to capture motion patterns and maintain multiple candidate hypotheses. The authors introduce the PoseEMG-43 dataset, comprising 2,992 movement instances from 43 daily-life actions performed by 14 participants, and demonstrate that Pose2Muscle outperforms baseline methods with high accuracy and correlation metrics.

Residual Flow Matching with Dynamic Cross-Interaction for 3D Multi-Person Motion Prediction

The paper introduces a Prior‑Guided Residual Flow Matching framework for 3D multi‑person motion prediction. It uses a Deterministic Coarse Prior to anchor kinematics and a Dynamic Cross‑Interaction mechanism to synchronize inter‑agent message passing during integration, thereby improving structural consistency and social context extraction. A decoupled joint‑motion architecture with bidirectional fusion further preserves fine‑grained kinematic coherence, achieving state‑of‑the‑art accuracy on several datasets.

MuyBridge: Mobile Human Center-of-Mass Estimation from Monocular Video via Sparse Fusion

MuyBridge is an on-device system that estimates an athlete’s segmental center of mass (CoM) trajectory from a single phone camera video stream. It combines a compact 2D pose network with a distilled monocular depth network, fusing their outputs through anatomical and physical priors to produce metric CoM estimates without requiring 3D or task‑specific supervision. On the AthletePose3D dataset, MuyBridge achieves 33–41 mm vertical CoM error and 2.3–6.6 % absolute‑relative range error, delivering CoM estimates at 63 FPS on an iPhone 15 with asynchronous depth updates.

Learning Biomechanically Plausible Human Motion from Sparse Radar Point Clouds

Radar-based human pose estimation has focused on improving learning algorithms while representing the body as unconstrained keypoint coordinates. We address the underexplored dimension of anatomical fidelity by integrating a full-body skeletal model into a differentiable, end-to-end trainable radar-based pose estimation framework, in which the pose network is supervised through forward kinematics while subject-specific geometry is fitted beforehand.

EquiFusion: Kinematics-Agnostic Human Motion Prediction via Equivariant Latent Diffusion

arXiv:2607. 10984v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing Stochastic 3D Human Motion Prediction models are fundamentally constrained by hard-coding the skeleton kinematics, severely limiting generalization, preventing cross-dataset training, and requiring complex data retargeting.
