Temporal Consistency Two-Stream CNN for Human Motion Prediction
share
Fusion is critical for a two-stream network. In this paper, we propose a novel temporal fusion (TF) module to fuse the two-stream joints' information to predict human motion, including a temporal concatenation and a reinforcement trajectory spatial-temporal (TST) block, specifically designed to keep prediction temporal consistency. In particular, the temporal concatenation keeps the temporal consistency of preliminary predictions from two streams. Meanwhile, the TST block improves the spatial-temporal feature coupling. However, the TF module can increase the temporal continuities between the first predicted pose and the given poses and between each predicted pose. The fusion is based on a two-stream network that consists of a dynamic velocity stream (V-Stream) and a static position stream (P-Stream) because we found that the joints' velocity information improves the short-term prediction, while the joints' position information is better at long-term prediction, and they are complementary in motion prediction. Finally, our approach achieves impressive results on three benchmark datasets, including H3.6M, CMU-Mocap, and 3DPW in both short-term and long-term predictions, confirming its effectiveness and efficiency.
