Text-to-motion models are competent at the action a prompt names but unreliable at when each stroke lands: four punches alternating left and right rarely return four separable strokes. We introduce typed temporal events called Action Units (AUs) that make the individual stroke -- its body track, action class, time window, and impact timing -- an explicit conditioning signal. We ground a frozen text-to-motion backbone on the AU set through a lightweight gated adapter injecting two streams (per-stroke tokens and a per-frame phase channel), and at inference close residual timing errors with a training-free classifier gradient from a frozen frame-level detector. We measure per-stroke control on StrokeBench, whose prompts specify count, ordering, track, and core-frame placement, paired with an audited stroke corpus. AU grounding markedly raises the rate of correctly placed single strokes over the strongest prior interface, at the best motion quality among text-, interval-, and frame-level baselines. The prompted core frame emerges as a further steerable axis.
Micro-expression recognition is challenging due to subtle and short-lived facial muscle movements. Existing methods rely heavily on apex-onset frames, overlook fine-grained inter-frame dynamics, and separately model spatial and temporal information, limiting generalization across…
Generating realistic 3D human motions in real-time within interactive applications is key for animation, simulation, and humanoid robotics. While recent offline motion generation approaches offer precise control via text and kinematic constraints, they lack the inference speed re…
Controlling the motion of multiple objects in image-to-video (I2V) generation requires preserving object identities while enforcing adherence to distinct target trajectories. This becomes particularly challenging as the number of objects increases and their paths intersect or occ…
Modern image-and-text-to-video diffusion models can synthesize highly realistic videos by iteratively denoising an initial Gaussian noise tensor conditioned on reference image and text inputs. However, existing approaches still lack precise and unified controllability over both o…
3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has revolutionized novel-view synthesis with its fast and high-fidelity rendering. However, rendering at high FPS and low latency across various scenes remains a challenge, especially when large amounts of 3D Gaussian ellipsoids appear in the scene. T…
Mesh deformation, the process of altering the vertex positions of a 3D mesh while preserving its topological structure, is a cornerstone of computer graphics. Despite the recent emergence of numerous text-guided 3D mesh deformation methods, deforming an initial mesh into one that…
