Researchers have developed ProxyPose, a novel method for tracking the six-degree-of-freedom (6-DoF) pose of objects and surfaces from monocular video. This approach reframes the problem as a video-to-video translation task, utilizing a fine-tuned video diffusion model to generate a synthetic proxy video. By analyzing the motion of a known object within this proxy video, ProxyPose can accurately recover the 6-DoF trajectory of the original surface. This technique bypasses the need for additional inputs like 3D models or depth maps, demonstrating state-of-the-art performance and extending to applications such as face tracking and camera pose estimation.
