  • Publication number: 20240144725
    Abstract: A system and a method for performing unified human motion prediction (HMP) are provided. In operation, the system provides a unified HMP module, which includes an encoder configured to encode a plurality of existing two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) pose sequences into a shared latent space V and a decoder configured to predict a plurality of predicted future 2D and 3D pose sequences based on the encoded shared latent space V, thus forming four pathways of knowledge flow. The system then trains the unified HMP module and the shared latent space V in a weakly supervised manner with input features Xwith actual future 2D and 3D pose sequences by 10 minimizing a loss between the predicted future 2D and 3D pose sequences and the actual future 3 D and 3D pose sequences. Once the training is complete, the unified HMP may be performed using the trained encoded shared latent space V.
