Research Summary

  • Topic: Physically plausible monocular 3D human motion capture and synthesis with interactions.
  • Approach: My works include reconstructing 3D human motions from an RGB sequence explicitly integrating 1) physics equations and/or 2) modelling of interactions with the environment in the motion capture pipeline for improved realism. Furthermore, my recent work extends beyond capturing human motions alone and includes surface deformations resulting from self-interactions (e.g., punching a face) from an RGB video. Additionally, one of my projects involves the diffusion model based synthesis of hand-object interactions.
  • Publications: CVPR, ECCV, ICCV, SIGGRAPH, SIGGRAPH Asia, TPAMI, etc.

Research Interests

  • Physics based 3D Human motion capture
