Abstract (arXiv)

Recovering 3D human motion from sparse wearable sensors is challenging due to the inherent noise, occlusion, and instability of real-world tracking signals. Existing approaches are restricted to fixed sensor configurations and, when built on diffusion models, are computationally prohibitive for real-time deployment. We propose OmniPoser, a universal framework that recovers full-body SMPL motion from a flexible combination of heterogeneous inputs, such as 3D keypoints, sparse IMU rotations, head-mounted 6-DoF poses, or any subset thereof, within a single model. OmniPoser introduces a cross-modal masking mechanism paired with a Masked Conditioning Encoder, enabling one architecture to incorporate diverse sensor configurations through a masked design. A decoupled dual-stream generative backbone generates complete motion via Conditional Flow Matching, requiring only a single ODE integration step at inference. Across three settings and seven benchmarks, including in-the-wild Nymeria and Ego-Exo4D datasets, OmniPoser performs on par with state-of-the-art methods while running at over 700 FPS.
