Improving Human Motion Prediction with GCN-Based Two-Stage Model

Predicting human motion is like trying to predict a dancer’s next move on the dance floor. While deep learning has made impressive strides in this field, accurately predicting long-term motion and skeletal deformation remain challenging. To address this, a new study presents a two-stage prediction method that combines graph convolutional networks (GCN) with attention mechanisms. […]
