Fine-grained Human Motion Understanding with Language Models

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

Fine-grained Human Motion Understanding with Language Models introduces FiGMo, an LLM-based model that represents motion as timestamp‑grounded skeletal poses, enabling reasoning over action order and duration. The model uses a unified pose encoder for both 2D and 3D skeletons, optionally incorporating RGB context, and relies on newly constructed pose‑to‑motion supervision to address limited pose‑level grounding. Experiments demonstrate that timestamps improve temporal localization and preserve physical timing under subsampling, leading FiGMo to achieve state‑of‑the‑art results on motion question answering, dense motion captioning, and action recognition with detected poses.

Pose-Anchored Optical Flow for Low-Latency Human Action Anticipation in Human-Robot Teaming

Pose-Anchored Optical Flow for Low-Latency Human Action Anticipation in Human-Robot Teaming proposes PoseOFF, a representation that captures local motion around human joints by conditioning optical flow extraction on pose. This structured motion representation aligns with human kinematics and improves early action recognition accuracy across multiple datasets and backbones. PoseOFF achieves comparable or better performance while observing less of the action sequence, making it suitable for real‑time, resource‑constrained robotic systems.
