Enhancing the Visualization of Percussion Gestures by Virtual Character Animation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new interface for visualizing and analyzing percussion gestures is presented, proposing enhancements of existing motion capture analysis tools. This is achieved by offering a percussion gesture analysis protocol using motion capture. A virtual character dynamic model is then designed in order to take advantage of gesture characteristics, yielding to improve gesture analysis with visualization and interaction cues of different types.

Analysis of Percussion Grip for Physically Based Character Animation
This paper presents the analysis of percussion technique for the simulation of virtual timpani playing situations. The analysis has been processed for two subjects performing with two types of grips (French and German), yielding to the extraction of percussion technique parameters from a motion capture database. These parameters are shown to be necessary for specifying the control and extending...
متن کاملAutonomous Speaker Agent
Autonomous Speaker Agent is a graphically embodied animated agent (a virtual character) capable of reading plain English text and rendering it in a form of speech, accompanied by the appropriate, natural-looking facial gestures. The system uses lexical analysis and statistical models of facial gestures in order to generate the gestures related to the spoken text. It is intended for the automati...
متن کاملHybrid Motion Control combining Inverse Kinematics and Inverse Dynamics Controllers for Simulating Percussion Gestures
Virtual characters playing virtual musical instruments in a realistic way need to interact in real-time with the simulated sounding environment. Dynamic simulation is a promising approach to finely represent and modulate this interaction. Moreover, capturing human motion provides a database covering a large variety of gestures with different levels of expressivity. We propose in this paper a ne...

متن کاملCharacter Animation for Real - Time Natural Gesture Generation
This work describes a character animation system designed for the real time generation of natural gestures. The system is part of a project to build a conversational humanoid, Rea, which supports both multi-modal input and output. An animation system built for this purpose must integrate all different approaches to animation control and have excellent external synchronization features. This the...
