New neural pose prior model uses normalizing flows for human motion capture

Researchers have developed a novel method for modeling neural priors over human body poses using normalizing flows, specifically leveraging RealNVP. This approach addresses the complexities of learning distributions on the manifold of valid 6D rotations by inverting the Gram-Schmidt process during training. The framework-agnostic architecture and training pipeline are designed for reproducibility and aim to provide a robust probabilistic foundation for integrating pose priors into human motion capture and reconstruction pipelines.

    Neural Human Pose Prior

    arXiv:2507.12138v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce a principled, data-driven approach for modeling a neural prior over human body poses using normalizing flows. Unlike heuristic or low-expressivity alternatives, our method leverages RealNVP to learn a flexible…
