Object manipulation and grasping for virtual humans

Virtual environments need virtual humans that are capable of interacting with objects around them. Existing virtual environments have not found satisfactory general solutions for this problem. The common method is to combine pre-designed (or motion capture ...

On-line adapted transition between locomotion and jump

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic, Pascal Glardon

Motion blending is widely accepted as a standard technique in computer animation, allowing the generation of new motions by interpolation and/or transition between motion capture sequences. To ensure smooth and seamless results, an important property has t ...

Interactive Motion Deformation with Prioritized Constraints

Ronan Boulic, Benoît Le Callennec

In this paper, we present an interactive motion deformation method to modify animations so that they satisfy a set of prioritized constraints. Our approach successfully handles the problem of retargetting, adjusting a motion, as well as adding significant ...

Style-based Motion Synthesis

Daniel Thalmann, Pascal Fua, Ronan Boulic, Raquel Urtasun, Pascal Glardon

Representing motions as linear sums of principal components has become a widely accepted animation technique. While powerful, the simplest version of this approach is not particularly well suited to modeling the specific style of an individual whose motion ...

3D human body tracking using deterministic temporal motion models

Pascal Fua, Raquel Urtasun

There has been much effort invested in increasing the robustness of human body tracking by incorporating motion models. Most approaches are probabilistic in nature and seek to avoid becoming trapped into local minima by considering multiple hypotheses, whi ...

Motion Level-of-Detail: A Simplification Method on Crowd Scene

Junghyun Ahn

Recent technological improvement in character animation has increased the number of characters that can appear in a virtual scene. Besides, skeletal and mesh structures are expected to be more complex in the future. Therefore, simulating massive characters ...

3D Tracking for Gait Characterization and Recognition

Pascal Fua, Raquel Urtasun

We propose an approach to gait analysis that relies on fitting 3--D temporal motion models to synchronized video sequences. These models allow us not only to track but also to recover motion parameters that can be used to recognize people and characterize ...

3D Human Body Tracking using Deterministic Temporal Motion Models

Pascal Fua, Raquel Urtasun

By contrast, in this paper, we use temporal motion models based on Principal Component Analysis to formulate the tracking problem as one of minimizing differentiable objective functions. The differential structure of these functions is rich enough to yield ...

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 ...
