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.

Modeling human bodies from video sequences

Daniel Thalmann, Pascal Fua, Ralf Plänkers

In this paper, we show that, given video sequences of a moving person acquired with a multi-camera system, we can track joint locations during the movement and recover shape information. We outline techniques for fitting a simplified model to the noisy 3-D ...

Space discretization for efficient human navigation

Daniel Thalmann

There is a large body of research on motion control of legs in human models. However, they require specification of global paths in which to move. A method for automatically computing a global motion path for a human in a 3D environment of obstacles is pre ...

Real-time animation of realistic virtual humans

Daniel Thalmann, Amaury Aubel

The authors have been working on simulating virtual humans for several years. Until recently, these constructs could not act in real time. Today, however, many applications need to simulate in real time virtual humans that look realistic. They have investe ...

From regular images to animated heads: a least squares approach

Pascal Fua

We show that we can effectively fit arbitrarily complex animation models to noisy image data. Our approach is based on least-squares adjustment using of a set of progressively finer control triangulations and takes advantage of three complementary sources ...

Animated impostors for real-time display of numerous virtual humans

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic, Amaury Aubel

Rendering and animating a multitude of articulated characters in real-time presents a real challenge, and few hardware systems are up to the task. Up to now, little research has been conducted to tackle the issue of real-time rendering of numerous virtual ...

Multimedia virtual lab in electronics

Throughout the world, a huge effort is engaged in multimedia activities for educational products. This is particularly true in sciences where phenomenas are observed explained and used. Thus, multimedia through animation and interactivity proves all its po ...

Integration of motion control techniques for virtual human and avatar real-time animation

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic

Real-time animation of virtual humans requires a dedicated architecture for the integration of different motion control techniques running into so-called actions. In this paper, we describe a software architecture called AGENTlib for the management of acti ...

Virtual hand interactions with 3D world

Daniel Thalmann, Zhouji Huang

Interactions between a virtual actor and its virtual environment involve many aspects. An important one is hand interactions. In a virtual scene depicting everyday life, the actor will need to grasp and hold objects, in such a way that both skeleton motion ...

An animation interface designed for motion capture

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic

We present an animation interface designed to conveniently control the motion capture process. The transition of performer's hand gestures tracked by a dataglove is recognized for software remote control. An intuitive camera metaphor allows one to specify ...

Computer animation

Daniel Thalmann

Computer animation may be defined as a technique in which the illusion of movement is created by displaying on a screen or recording on a device a series of individual states of a dynamic scene. The key issue of computer animation is defining motion, commo ...
