用数值化努力度控制动作生成,让动作更生动真实。
EMA: Effort Metric Attention for Anatomical Effort-Guided Human Motion Diffusion

- 引入努力度注意力机制,用数值信号指导动作扩散。
- 运动强度与指定努力值近似单调匹配,动态更丰富。
- 适合需要精细控制动作强度的动画、游戏开发场景。
人类动作扩散模型可从文本生成动作序列,但控制动作强度仍具挑战。现有方法依赖模糊的努力相关副词,难以捕捉节奏、幅度等量化特征,常导致动作呆板。本文提出基于努力度度量注意力(EMA)的强度控制框架,通过交叉注意力模块将数值化努力信号融入扩散过程。受拉班运动分析(LMA)启发,聚焦时间(Time)与重量(Weight)两个努力因子,分别用关节位置变化峰值表示节奏,集体关节位移总和表示运动量。EMA实现无需后处理优化的细粒度、区域级控制。引入两项评估任务:度量到动作的一致性与身体部位级努力调节能力,实验与用户研究显示,指定努力值与生成动作动态、标准LMA描述符间具有近似单调关联。结果表明该方法在实践中实现了有效且可解释的努力动态控制。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Human motion diffusion models can synthesize action sequences from text, but controlling motion intensity remains challenging. Existing approaches rely on effort-related adverbs, which are ambiguous and fail to capture quantitative aspects such as pacing, often resulting in flat and monotonous dynamics. We propose an intensity-control framework based on Effort Metric Attention (EMA), a cross-attention module that conditions diffusion on numerical effort signals. Inspired by Laban Movement Analysis (LMA), the framework focuses on the Time and Weight effort factors. We approximate these factors using two kinematic metrics: peak joint positional change for pacing and collective joint positional change for motion amount. EMA enables fine-grained, region-wise control without costly post-hoc optimization. We introduce two evaluation tasks, metric-to-motion consistency and body-part-level effort modulation, to assess numerical fidelity and localized control. Experiments and a user study show near-monotonic alignment between specified effort levels, generated motion dynamics, and established LMA descriptors. These results indicate effective and interpretable control of effort dynamics in practice.
