Learning Dynamic Correlations in Spatiotemporal Graphs for Motion Prediction
share
Human motion prediction is a challenge task due to the dynamic spatiotemporal graph correlations in different motion sequences. How to efficiently represent spatiotemporal graph correlations and model dynamic correlation variances between different motion sequences is a challenge for spatiotemporal graph representation in motion prediction. In this work, we present Dynamic SpatioTemporal Graph Convolution (DSTD-GC). The proposed DSTD-GC decomposes dynamic spatiotemporal graph modeling into a combination of Dynamic Spatial Graph Convolution (DS-GC) and Dynamic Temporal Graph Convolution (DT-GC). As human motions are subject to common constraints like body connections and present dynamic motion patterns from different samples, we present Constrained Dynamic Correlation Modeling strategy to represent the spatial/temporal graph as a shared spatial/temporal correlation and a function to extract temporal-specific /spatial-specific adjustments for each sample. The modeling strategy represents the spatiotemporal graph with 28.6% parameters of the state-of-the-art static decomposition representation while also explicitly models sample-specific spatiotemporal correlation variances. Moreover, we also mathematically reformulating spatiotemporal graph convolutions and their decomposed variants into a unified form and find that DSTD-GC relaxes strict constraints of other graph convolutions, leading to a stronger representation capability. Combining DSTD-GC with prior knowledge, we propose a powerful spatiotemporal graph convolution network called DSTD-GCN which outperforms state-of-the-art methods on the Human3.6M and CMU Mocap datasets in prediction accuracy with fewest parameters.
