Abstract

In the field of human centric multimedia, text-driven human motion generation is a significant pursuit with wide-ranging applications across diverse scenarios. Despite substantial advancements, existing methods often suffer from a trade-off between inference latency and high-quality generation. To overcome this gap, we propose the Motion Latent Flow Matching model (MotionFlow), a novel and powerful framework for motion generation. It introduces flow matching algorithm in the latent space, which can achieve superior performance with just one-step inference. In addition to the text-driven task, we further extend our method to controllable motion generation. Specifically, we integrate a control encoder into the latent space and further decode the predicted latent code into motion space to support explicit supervision, ensuring the synthesized motion can tightly align with the input signals. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our MotionFlow not only outperforms current leading approaches for the text-driven task, but also delivers remarkable capabilities in controllable motion generation.
