Multi-agent Long-term 3D Human Pose Forecasting via Interaction-aware Trajectory Conditioning
Authors: Jaewoo Jeong, Daehee Park, Kuk-Jin Yoon

Human pose forecasting garners attention for its diverse applications. However challenges in modeling the multi-modal nature of human motion and intricate interactions among agents persist particularly with longer timescales and more agents. In this paper we propose an interaction-aware trajectory-conditioned long-term multi-agent human pose forecasting model utilizing a coarse-to-fine prediction approach: multi-modal global trajectories are initially forecasted followed by respective local pose forecasts conditioned on each mode. In doing so our Trajectory2Pose model introduces a graph-based agent-wise interaction module for a reciprocal forecast of local motion-conditioned global trajectory and trajectory-conditioned local pose. Our model effectively handles the multi-modality of human motion and the complexity of long-term multi-agent interactions improving performance in complex environments. Furthermore we address the lack of long-term (6s+) multi-agent (5+) datasets by constructing a new dataset from real-world images and 2D annotations enabling a comprehensive evaluation of our proposed model. State-of-the-art prediction performance on both complex and simpler datasets confirms the generalized effectiveness of our method. The code is available at https://github.com/Jaewoo97/T2P.
