用仿真先验提升雷达人体动作重建的泛化与数据效率

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar enables privacy-preserving and illumination-robust human motion reconstruction, but training generalizable models typically requires costly paired radar-motion recordings. Simulation can scale such supervision, yet even physics-based simulators cannot fully reproduce real-world multipath, clutter, hardware-specific response statistics, or distance-dependent resolution degradation, leaving a sim-to-real gap. We present mmSimPrior, a simulation-pretrained framework that factorizes transferable knowledge into signal, motion, and radar-to-motion mapping priors. To learn transferable signal and motion priors, we pretrain a multimodal radar encoder with a physics-informed domain-randomization curriculum designed to mitigate the sim-to-real gap by approximating real-world propagation- and acquisition-level variations, while a joint-temporal tokenizer learns a discrete prior over plausible human motion. A dual-mode mapping module predicts either motion-code distributions for structurally constrained zero-shot reconstruction or continuous motion parameters for flexible adaptation from limited real data. We further construct a 4.2M-frame, 31K-sequence dataset suite and introduce a No-Overlap Setting that prevents any exact subject-environment-location-motion tuple from appearing in both the adaptation and test sets. Experiments on mmSimPrior-Real and RT-Pose demonstrate consistent gains: with only 24 paired real sequences, mmSimPrior-Reg reduces MPJPE by 24.7-39.0% over the strongest baseline across the three environments, while mmSimPrior-Cls reduces zero-shot MPJPE by 8.5% without fine-tuning.
