Graph Chatbot

Chattez avec Graph Search

Posez n’importe quelle question sur les cours, conférences, exercices, recherches, actualités, etc. de l’EPFL ou essayez les exemples de questions ci-dessous.

AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.

Dynamic Obstacle Clearing for Real-time Character Animation

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic, Pascal Glardon

This paper proposes a novel method to control virtual characters in dynamic environments. A virtual character is animated by a locomotion and jumping engine, enabling production of continuous parameterized motions. At any time during runtime, flat obstacle ...

In Search for your own Virtual Individual

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Alejandra Garcia Rojas Martinez

The use of inhabited Virtual Environments is continuously growing. People can embody a human-like avatar to participate inside these Virtual Environments or they can have personalized character acting as mediator; sometimes they can even customize it to so ...

On-line locomotion synthesis for virtual humans

Pascal Glardon

Ever since the development of Computer Graphics in the industrial and academic worlds in the seventies, public knowledge and expertise have grown in a tremendous way, notably because of the increasing fascination for Computer Animation. This specific field ...

Implicit Meshes for Surface Reconstruction

Pascal Fua, Slobodan Ilic

Deformable 3--D models are used extensively in Computer Graphics and Computer Vision for Visualization, Animation and Modeling. They can be represented either as traditional explicit surfaces, such as triangulated meshes, or as implicit surfaces. Explicit ...

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 ...

An Ontology of Virtual Humans: Incorporating Semantics into Human Shapes

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo, Alejandra Garcia Rojas Martinez

Most of the efforts concerning graphical representations of humans (Virtual Humans) have been focused on synthesizing geometry for static or animated shapes. The next step is to consider a human body not only as a 3D shape, but as an active semantic entity ...

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 ...

Augmented CGI Films

Daniel Thalmann, Frédéric Vexo

The contribution of this paper focuses on the definition of a multimedia application targeted at turning CGI films into a richer and more interactive experience. We combine highquality animated graphics to present a compelling story and enrich it by introd ...

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 ...
