New framework enables motion transfer across diverse object morphologies

Researchers have developed a new framework called Motion Beyond Morphology (MBM) that enables video motion transfer between objects with significantly different structures. Unlike previous methods that rely on fixed structural correspondence, MBM learns abstract motion representations to preserve dynamics that remain meaningful across diverse morphologies. The framework includes a two-stage process for bootstrapping cross-category supervision and direct generation, along with new datasets and benchmarks for evaluation. Experiments show MBM achieves state-of-the-art results in motion fidelity and target preservation. AI

IMPACT Enables more flexible and robust video animation by transferring motion across objects with disparate structures.

    Motion Beyond Morphology: Bootstrapping Cross-Category Motion Transfer from Abstract Motion Representations

    Video motion transfer aims to animate a target object using dynamics from a reference video. Existing formulations largely rely on fixed structural correspondence, which becomes ill-defined when reference and target objects differ substantially in morphology, articulation, or def…
