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.

One Sensor, Whole Body - 3D Body Pose from a Single Consumer Earbud IMU

The study investigates how well a single consumer earbud IMU can estimate 3D body pose and whether adding foot IMUs improves accuracy. Using a multimodal capture pipeline with RGB‑D video, an AirPods head IMU, and Striv insole IMUs, the authors benchmark pose estimation across various motions and train recurrent models (IMUPoser and MobilePoser). Results show that a head IMU alone achieves 79.0 mm rigid‑MPJPE and 0.809 macro‑F1 for foot contact, while adding foot IMUs does not significantly improve pose and can even degrade performance due to insole orientation errors.
