The following topics are dealt with: motion capture and 3D reconstruction; parametric motion and retargeting; muscles and deformation models; facial animation and communication; and high-level behaviors and autonomous agents ...
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 ...
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 ...
Synthetic modeling of human bodies and the simulation of motion is a long-standing problem in animation and much work is involved before a near-realistic performance can be achieved. At present, it takes an experienced designer a very long time to build a ...
Nowadays, it becomes possible to show a live virtual stage application allowing a human's real time participation by motion capture. The big problem in participatory animation is figuring out where to place the camera and in what direction to point it to p ...
Presents an integration framework for heterogeneous motion generators. The objective is to outline issues that are currently easily solved in the professional post-processing systems used in film and game production but which cannot be transposed “as ...
We present a system dedicated to the real-time production of multimedia products and TV shows involving multiple virtual actors and presenters. This system, named VHD (virtual human director), may also be used for character animation on high-level systems ...
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 ...
Motion capture has been adopted for the production of highly realistic movements, as well as for the clinical analysis of pathological motion. In both cases, a skeleton model has to be identified to derive the joint motion. The optical technology has gaine ...
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 ...
