Identity-Aware Human-Object Interaction Motion Captioning

arXiv:2608.20690v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing human-object interaction (HOI) motion captioning methods typically describe what happens while referring to the subject using generic terms such as "a person" or "someone", without grounding the caption in subject identity. To address this limitation, we introduce Identity-Aware Human-Object Interaction Motion Captioning task. This task requires each generated caption to specify both the subject identity and the corresponding HOI motion. For example, the model generates "Sub_ID lifts the chair" rather than "A person lifts the chair". For this task, we design identity-aware HOI motion captions based on the BEHAVE and InterCap datasets. We further propose ID-HOINet, which learns from multi-view videos while supporting single-view identity-aware HOI motion caption generation. ID-HOINet contains two core components: Multi-View Identity-Motion Learning Module (MVIML) and Two-Stage Caption Rewriting Strategy (TSCR). MVIML learns from multi-view videos by modeling dependencies across temporal stages and camera viewpoints, capturing identity and interaction motion features. At inference, the TSCR first retrieves the subject identity and generates identity-agnostic HOI motion captions. TSCR then rewrites these captions with the predicted identity to produce the final identity-aware HOI motion captions. Experiments demonstrate that ID-HOINet achieves state-of-the-art performance. Code will be released upon acceptance.
