Example-based motion cloning: Research Articles

摘要: In this paper, we pose a motion cloning problem of retargeting the source character to target with different structure. Based on scattered data interpolation, an example-based approach is proposed. Provided set example motions, our method automatically extracts small number representative postures called key-postures. The animator then creates corresponding key-postures character, breathing his/her imagination and creativity into output animation. Exploiting correspondence, each input posture cloned frame by produce initial animation, which further adjusted in space time for timewarping finalized some interactive fine tuning. With rich animation available, aims at rapid prototyping verify animator's concept early stage. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
