Dynamic Mesh Recovery from Partial Point Cloud Sequence
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The exact 3D dynamics of the human body provides crucial evidence to analyze the consequences of the physical interaction between the body and the environment, which can eventually assist everyday activities in a wide range of applications. However, optimizing for 3D configurations from image observation requires a significant amount of computation, whereas real-world 3D measurements often suffer from noisy observation or complex occlusion. We resolve the challenge by learning a latent distribution representing strong temporal priors. We use a conditional variational autoencoder (CVAE) architecture with a transformer to train the motion priors with a large-scale motion dataset. Then our feature follower effectively aligns the feature spaces of noisy, partial observation with the necessary input for pre-trained motion priors, and quickly recovers a complete mesh sequence of motion. We demonstrate that the transformer-based autoencoder can collect necessary spatio-temporal correlations robust to various adversaries, such as missing temporal frames, or noisy observation under severe occlusion. Our framework is general and can be applied to recover the full 3D dynamics of other subjects with parametric representations.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
