Current Trends in Multimodal Human Pose and Motion Understanding

Recent advancements in the field of human pose and motion understanding have seen a significant shift towards unified frameworks that integrate multiple modalities, such as text, images, and 3D poses. These frameworks leverage large language models (LLMs) to enhance the comprehension, generation, and editing of human poses and motions, thereby broadening their applicability in real-world scenarios. The introduction of novel tokenizers, such as those for 3D poses and full-body motions, has enabled more precise and efficient representation of complex human behaviors, facilitating seamless integration with LLMs. Additionally, the development of extensive multimodal datasets has empowered these models to achieve state-of-the-art performance across a wide range of tasks, from motion synthesis to comprehension. The focus on real-time multimodal signal processing for human-robot interaction further underscores the practical utility and future potential of these advancements.
