This paper addresses the challenge of 3D motion recovery by exploiting the spatio-temporal correlations of corrupted 3D skeleton sequences. We propose a new 3D motion recovery method using spatio-temporal reconstruction, which uses joint low-rank and sparse priors to exploit temporal correlation and an isometric constraint for spatial correlation. The proposed model is formulated as a constrained optimization problem, which is efficiently solved by the augmented Lagrangian method with a Gauss-Newton solver for the subproblem of isometric optimization. The experimental results on the CMU motion capture dataset, Edinburgh dataset, and two Kinect datasets demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves better motion recovery than the state-of-the-art methods. The proposed method is applicable to Kinect-like skeleton tracking devices and pose estimation methods that cannot provide accurate estimation of complex motions, especially in the presence of occlusion.
