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 ...

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 ...

Handbook Of Virtual Humans

Virtual Humans are becoming more and more popular and used in many applications such as the entertainment industry (in both film and games) and medical applications. This comprehensive book covers all areas of this growing industry including face and body ...

PCA-based walking engine using motion capture data

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic, Pascal Glardon

This paper aims to propose a novel approach to generate new generic human walking patterns using motion-captured data, leading to a real-time engine intended for virtual humans animation. The method applies the PCA (principal component analysis) technique ...

Construction of animation models out of captured data

Daniel Thalmann

This article describes a method of constructing parametric models out of captured motion and skeleton data. Casting the problem as scattered data interpolation, our work is based on a multi-step approximation for the interpolation function with motion data ...

Behavioural animation of virtual humans: what kind of laws and rules ?

Daniel Thalmann, Jean-Sébastien Monzani

Interactive systems, games, VR and multimedia systems require more and more flexible Virtual Humans with individualities. Behavioral animation seems to be the best way to develop this kind of applications, but there is still a major problem to select the r ...

Specifying MPEG-4 body behaviors

Daniel Thalmann, Anthony Guye-Vuillème

The MPEG-4 standard specifies a set of low-level animation parameters for body animation, but does not provide any high-level functionality for the control of avatars or embodied agents. In this paper we discuss the required features for a script format al ...

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 ...
