What is Human Motion Transfer?

Human motion transfer applies the pose and movement from a source person to a different target character or subject. It is useful for puppet-style animation, reenactment, and stabilizing motion between takes.


Typical Approaches

  • Pose/keypoint based pipelines (e.g., OpenPose → motion-aware models)
  • Video-to-video diffusion models that condition on optical flow or keyframes
  • Tracking + depth/segmentation to keep the target identity stable
