Bézier Degradation Modeling for LiDAR-based Human Motion Capture

LiDAR-based 3D human motion capture has broad applications in fields such as autonomous driving and robotics, where accurate motion reconstruction is crucial. However, existing methods often struggle with unstable inputs and severe occlusions, leading to jittery or even failed pose predictions. To address these challenges, we propose BMLiCap, a coarse-to-fine framework that models motion using temporally compressible Bézier curves. By reducing control points through a trajectory-preserving strategy, we obtain a coherent and learning-friendly motion representation. To reconstruct human actions from LiDAR point-cloud cues, we design a progressive motion-reconstruction module. Specifically, a Time-scale Motion Transformer (TMT) is introduced to predict motion curves at multiple temporal scales, and a Multi-level Motion Aggregator (MMA) is utilized to adaptively fuse the multi-scale curves to recover detailed, temporally coherent poses, effectively bridging observation gaps caused by occlusions and noise. Across four mainstream benchmarks LiDARHuman26M, FreeMotion, NoiseMotion, and SLOPER4D, BMLiCap achieves state-of-the-art accuracy and temporal continuity in complex scenes, demonstrating its ability to compensate for severe occlusions and reduce prediction jitter.

DiffPF: Differentiable Particle Filtering with Generative Sampling via Conditional Diffusion Models

This paper proposes DiffPF, a differentiable particle filter that leverages diffusion models for state estimation in dynamic systems. Unlike conventional differentiable particle filters, which require importance weighting and typically rely on predefined or low-capacity proposal distributions. DiffPF learns a flexible posterior sampler by conditioning a diffusion model on predicted particles and the current observation. This enables accurate, equally-weighted sampling from complex, high-dimensional, and multimodal filtering distributions. We evaluate DiffPF across a range of scenarios, including both unimodal and highly multimodal distributions, and test it on simulated as well as real-world tasks, where it consistently outperforms existing filtering baselines. In particular, DiffPF achieves an 82.8% improvement in estimation accuracy on a highly multimodal global localization benchmark, and a 26% improvement on the real-world KITTI visual odometry benchmark, compared to state-of-the-art differentiable filters. To the best of our knowledge, DiffPF is the first method to integrate conditional diffusion models into particle filtering, enabling high-quality posterior sampling that produces more informative particles and significantly improves state estimation.

DnD Filter: Differentiable State Estimation for Dynamic Systems using Diffusion Models

This paper proposes the DnD Filter, a differentiable filter that utilizes diffusion models for state estimation of dynamic systems. Unlike conventional differentiable filters, which often impose restrictive assumptions on process noise (e.g., Gaussianity), DnD Filter enables a nonlinear state update without such constraints by conditioning a diffusion model on both the predicted state and observational data, capitalizing on its ability to approximate complex distributions. We validate its effectiveness on both a simulated task and a real-world visual odometry task, where DnD Filter consistently outperforms existing baselines. Specifically, it achieves a 25\% improvement in estimation accuracy on the visual odometry task compared to state-of-the-art differentiable filters, and even surpasses differentiable smoothers that utilize future measurements. To the best of our knowledge, DnD Filter represents the first successful attempt to leverage diffusion models for state estimation, offering a flexible and powerful framework for nonlinear estimation under noisy measurements.
