New method extracts 3D motion from frozen video models

Researchers have developed a novel method called "parasitic co-denoising" to extract explicit 3D human motion generation from frozen text-to-video diffusion models. This approach leverages the implicit motion knowledge already present within these models, rather than training a separate motion generator. The Parasitic Motion Decoder (PMD) efficiently decodes motion by reading intermediate features from the host model along its denoising schedule, leaving the host model unchanged. This method achieves strong text-motion alignment with significantly fewer trainable parameters than dedicated motion generators and can produce paired video and motion simultaneously. AI

IMPACT Enables extraction of 3D motion data from existing video models, potentially reducing the need for specialized motion datasets.

    Parasitic Co-Denoising: Unlocking 3D Human Motion Generation in a Frozen Video Diffusion Model

    arXiv:2610.03047v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite never being supervised on explicit 3D motion, large-scale text-to-video diffusion models synthesize realistic human motion in their generated videos. We ask whether this implicit knowledge can be turned into explicit 3D moti…
