HyperMotion: DiT-Based Pose-Guided Human Image Animation of Complex Motions
This addresses a specific bottleneck in human image animation for complex motions, providing tools for researchers and practitioners in video generation.
The paper tackles the challenge of generating high-quality pose-guided human image animations for complex, highly dynamic motions by introducing a new dataset (Open-HyperMotionX) and a DiT-based method with spatial low-frequency enhanced RoPE, achieving significant improvements in structural stability and appearance consistency.
Recent advances in diffusion models have significantly improved conditional video generation, particularly in the pose-guided human image animation task. Although existing methods are capable of generating high-fidelity and time-consistent animation sequences in regular motions and static scenes, there are still obvious limitations when facing complex human body motions (Hypermotion) that contain highly dynamic, non-standard motions, and the lack of a high-quality benchmark for evaluation of complex human motion animations. To address this challenge, we introduce the \textbf{Open-HyperMotionX Dataset} and \textbf{HyperMotionX Bench}, which provide high-quality human pose annotations and curated video clips for evaluating and improving pose-guided human image animation models under complex human motion conditions. Furthermore, we propose a simple yet powerful DiT-based video generation baseline and design spatial low-frequency enhanced RoPE, a novel module that selectively enhances low-frequency spatial feature modeling by introducing learnable frequency scaling. Our method significantly improves structural stability and appearance consistency in highly dynamic human motion sequences. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our dataset and proposed approach in advancing the generation quality of complex human motion image animations. Code and dataset will be made publicly available.
