While fully s imulating human motions with physics is an extreme challenge, we hypothesi ze that we can treat this complexity as a black box in a data-driven manne r if we focus on the ground contact, and have sufficient observations of p hysics and human activities in the real world. To prove our hypothesis, we present GroundLink, a unified dataset comprised of captured ground reacti on force (GRF) and center of pressure (CoP) synchronized to the standard k inematic motion captures. GRF and CoP of GroundLink are not simulated but captured at high temporal resolution using force platforms embedded in the ground for uncompromising measurement accuracy. This dataset contains 368 processed motion trials (1.59M recorded frames) with 19 different movemen ts including locomotion and weight-shifting actions such as tennis swings to signify the importance of capturing physics paired with kinematics. Gro undLinkNet, our benchmark neural network model trained with GroundLink, su pports our hypothesis by predicting GRFs and CoPs accurately and plausibly on unseen motions from various sources. The dataset, code, and benchmark models will be made public for further research on various downstream task s leveraging the rich physics information.\n\nRegistration Category: Full Access URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2023/full-program?id=papers_947&sess=sess165 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
