| contents | Human motion recovery for real-world interaction demands both precise action details and metric-scale trajectories. Recovering absolute human pose from monocular input presents a viable solution, but faces two main challenges: (1) models' reliance on 3D training data from constrained environments limits their out-of-distribution generalization; and (2) the inherent difficulty of estimating metric-scale poses from monocular observations. This paper introduces Mocap-2-to-3, a novel framework that differs from prior HMR methods by recovering absolute poses from monocular input and leveraging abundant 2D data to enhance 3D motion recovery. To effectively utilize the action priors and diversity in large-scale 2D datasets, we reformulate 3D motion as a multi-view synthesis process and divide the training into two stages: a single-view diffusion model is first pre-trained on extensive 2D data, followed by multi-view fine-tuning on 3D data, thus achieving a combination of strong priors and geometric constraints. Furthermore, to recover absolute poses, we introduce a novel human motion representation that decouples the learning of local pose and global movements, while encoding ground geometric priors to accelerate convergence, thereby yielding more precise positioning in the physical world. Experiments on in-the-wild benchmarks show that our method outperforms state-of-the-art approaches in both camera-space motion realism and world-grounded human positioning, while exhibiting strong generalization capability. |
