Multi-HMR 2: Multi-Person Camera-Centric Human Detection, Mesh Recovery and Tracking

In the task of human mesh recovery (HMR), multi-person scenes are particularly difficult to handle due to the many entities that appear and occlusions between them over time. In particular for video inputs, there is a need to track each entity reliably and consistently. Existing methods rely on pretrained human detection modules, increasing their runtime and limiting the number of tracked entities. We present DETRAM, a unified framework for multi-person HMR and tracking that simultaneously detects, reconstructs, and tracks humans across time, both automatically and via user prompts. DETRAM uses a single transformer decoder with an identity-consistent set of learnable query embeddings that persist across frames: detection queries discover new people, tracking queries maintain pose and shape for existing individuals, and prompt queries follow user-specified identities. Our approach achieves state-of-the-art tracking results on PoseTrack21, 3DPW, BEDLAM, and MuPoTS-3D, and competitive reconstruction accuracy on BEDLAM and 3DPW, while uniquely supporting prompt-based tracking of individuals in multi-person scenes. To our knowledge, this is the first method to unify promptability and multi-person HMR with tracking in an end-to-end trainable framework, enabling user-directed human analysis in videos.

Human Mesh Recovery (HMR) is fundamentally ambiguous: under occlusion or weak depth cues, multiple 3D bodies can explain the same image evidence. This ambiguity is not uniform across the body, as torso pose and root structure are often relatively well constrained, whereas distal articulations such as the arms and legs are more uncertain. Building on this observation, we propose FactorizedHMR, a two-stage framework that treats these two regimes differently. A deterministic regression module first recovers a stable torso-root anchor, and a probabilistic flow-matching module then completes the remaining non-torso articulation. To make this completion reliable, we combine a composite target representation with geometry-aware supervision and feature-aware classifier-free guidance, preserving the torso-root anchor while improving single-reference recovery of ambiguity-prone articulation. We also introduce a synthetic data pipeline that provides the paired image-camera-motion supervision under diverse viewpoints. Across camera-space and world-space benchmarks, FactorizedHMR remains competitive with strong baselines, with the clearest gains in occlusion-heavy recovery and drift-sensitive world-space metrics.

We introduce MetricHMSR, a novel framework for recovering metric human meshes and 3D scenes from a single monocular image. Existing methods struggle to recover metric scale due to monocular scale ambiguity and weak-perspective camera assumptions. Moreover, their fully coupled feature representations make it difficult to disentangle local pose from global translation, often requiring multi-stage pipelines that introduce accumulated errors. To address these challenges, we propose MetricHMR (Metric Human Mesh Recovery), which incorporates a bounding camera ray map representation to provide explicit metric cues for human reconstruction,together with a Human Mixture-of-Experts (HumanMoE) that dynamically routes image features to specialized experts, enabling the disentangled perception of local human pose and global metric position. Leveraging the recovered metric human as a geometric anchor, we further refine monocular metric depth estimation to achieve more accurate 3D alignment between humans and scenes.Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on both human mesh recovery and metric human-scene reconstruction.
