DeepSVG: A Hierarchical Generative Network for Vector Graphics Animation

Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Radu Timofte

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) are ubiquitous in modern 2D interfaces due to their ability to scale to different resolutions. However, despite the success of deep learning-based models applied to rasterized images, the problem of vector graphics representa ...

SPA: Sparse Photorealistic Animation Using a Single RGB-D Camera

Ronan Boulic, Eray Molla, Jingyu Yang, Kun Li

Photorealistic animation is a desirable technique for computer games and movie production. We propose a new method to synthesize plausible videos of human actors with new motions using a single cheap RGB-D camera. A small database is captured in a usual of ...

Augmented Reality on your Smartphones

Gaétan Séchaud

Nowadays, mobile phone applications become more and more impressive, while the programming languages related to them offers more possibilities for new applications. One of these possibilities is the domain of the augmented reality, which consists of an app ...

Semantics for virtual humans

Alejandra Garcia Rojas Martinez

Population of Virtual Worlds with Virtual Humans is increasing rapidly by people who want to create a virtual life parallel to the real one (i.e. Second Life). The evolution of technology is smoothly providing the necessary elements to increase realism wit ...

Standardized Virtual Reality, are we there yet ?

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo

Despite its history of several decades and impressive achievements, developing a VR application is still a complex task. Setting-up a Virtual Environment requires choosing a suitable combination of elements from a large amount of technologies, software fra ...

Interactive techniques for motion deformation of articulated figures using prioritized constraints

Benoît Le Callennec

Convincingly animating virtual humans has become of great interest in many fields since recent years. In computer games for example, virtual humans often are the main characters. Failing to realistically animate them may wreck all previous efforts made to ...

Using biomechanical constraints to improve video-based motion capture

Lorna Herda

In motion capture applications whose aim is to recover human body postures from various input, the high dimensionality of the problem makes it desirable to reduce the size of the search-space by eliminating a priori impossible configurations. This can be c ...

Using skeleton-based tracking to increase the reliability of optical motion capture

Daniel Thalmann, Pascal Fua, Ronan Boulic, Lorna Herda, Ralf Plänkers

Optical motion capture provides an impressive ability to replicate gestures. However, even with a highly professional system there are many instances where crucial markers are occluded or when the algorithm confuses the trajectory of one marker with that o ...

Real-time animation and motion capture in Web Human Director (WHD)

Daniel Thalmann

Motion capture systems usually work in conjunction with complex 3D applications, such as 3D Studio Max by Kinetix or Maya by Alias/Wavefront. Once models have been created in these applications, motion capture systems provide the necessary data input to an ...

Human motion capture driven by orientation measurements

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic

Motion capture techniques are rarely based on orientation measurements for two main reasons: (1) optical motion capture systems are designed for tracking object position rather than their orientation (which can be deduced from several trackers), (2) known ...
