Researchers have developed FlowHMR, a novel framework for generating physically plausible 3D human motion from monocular video. This method addresses limitations of previous approaches by formulating motion capture as a video-conditioned generation problem, enhanced with Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO). FlowHMR uses fidelity and tracking rewards to ensure motions are consistent with the input video and can be successfully tracked by physics-based controllers. Experiments on the new Wild-4K dataset show FlowHMR significantly outperforms existing methods, achieving an 82.47% physical tracking success rate compared to 62.82% for the strongest baseline, GVHMR.
