MAMMA (Markerless Accurate Multi-person Motion Acquisition) is a research pipeline from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (tue.mpg.de domain). It recovers SMPL-X parameters from multi-view RGB video, focusing on two-person interactions, and also handles single-person capture.
The pipeline uses MammaNet, a transformer-based dense landmark estimator (ViT-Base backbone plus a CNN for masks) that predicts 512 2D surface landmarks with uncertainty, visibility and contact probabilities (person-person and floor). Landmarks are matched across views using symmetric epipolar distance and Hungarian assignment, with SAM2 used to track people. SMPL-X is then fitted in several stages, including contact optimization that limits interpenetration.
MammaNet is trained on MammaSyn, a synthetic dataset of 2.5M crops extending BEDLAM, plus BEDLAM data. The authors report lower errors than SMPLify, LookMa and CameraHMR on benchmarks including RICH, Harmony4D, CHI3D and MOYO, and introduce MammaEval-Singles and MammaEval-Dance captured with Vicon. A video creator reports that code has been released, but no repository link or license was in the provided material.
