📝 摘要(中文)
本研究聚焦于自我中心的4D交互预测,旨在同时预测未来交互的3D位置及人体运动。现有方法在语义理解与精确3D定位之间存在困难,且往往将这些任务分开建模,导致交互位置与身体运动之间的几何和时间对应关系不足。为此,本文引入了Coherent4D数据集,包含约233K样本,提供了时间对齐的3D交互位置与全身姿态的配对。基于此,提出了HIGFlow框架,通过结合语义基础与短期视觉动态,逐步预测交互位置,并利用预测结果指导全身运动的多样性与结构一致性。实验结果表明,HIGFlow在多个领域的表现优于基线方法。

📄 摘要(原文)
Egocentric 4D interaction forecasting aims to anticipate both where future interactions will occur in 3D and how the human body will move to realize them, providing an important capability for assistive robotics and human-computer interaction. Existing methods struggle to translate semantic understanding into precise continuous 3D localization and to balance motion diversity with structural consistency in pose forecasting. More fundamentally, these tasks are often modeled separately, leaving the continuous geometric and temporal correspondence between interaction locations and body motion insufficiently captured. To address these challenges, we introduce Coherent4D, a large-scale egocentric dataset for continuous 4D interaction forecasting, comprising approximately 233K samples across three domains. Each sample pairs a sequence of future 3D interaction locations with corresponding full-body poses, aligned in time and expressed in a shared coordinate system. We also provide evaluation metrics in continuous space. Building on this formulation, we propose HIGFlow, a Hand Interaction Guided Residual Flow framework that models forecasting as a cascaded where-to-how process. HIGFlow first forecasts continuous future interaction locations by combining semantic grounding with short-horizon visual dynamics, and then uses the predicted location sequence to condition a deterministic motion anchor and residual Flow Matching for diverse yet structurally consistent full-body motion forecasting. Extensive experiments across all three domains demonstrate consistent improvements over representative baselines on both location and pose forecasting, while ablations validate the contributions of the proposed components.
