Distance Measuring Method for Motion Capture Animation

An Animation Interface Designed for Motion Capture

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 to specify the viewpoint location using the magnetic sensors strapped on the performer’s head. The human motion capture is based on the Anatomical Converter...

Motion Capture Animation for Physical Model Analysis

This paper presents a motion capture technique applied to animation, in order to analyze physical models. A low cost motion capture environment has been built, which is validated through a case study. An experiment is described, showing the main steps to be performed using the motion capture technique. Finally the generated animations are used to analyze physical models in a virtual three dimen...

Entropy-based motion extraction for motion capture animation

In this paper we present a new segmentation solution for extracting motion patterns from motion capture data by searching for critical keyposes in the motion sequence. A rank is established for critical keyposes that identifies the significance of the directional change in motion data. The method is based on entropy metrics, specifically the mutual information measure. Displacement histograms b...
