A MPEG-4 Virtual Human Animation Engine for Interactive Web Based Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel, MPEG-4 compliant animation engine (body player). It has been designed to synthesize virtual human full-body animations in interactive multimedia applications for the web. We believe that a full-body player can provide a more expressive and interesting interface than the use of animated faces only (talking heads). This is one of the first implementations of a MPEG-4 animation engine with deformable models (it uses the MPEG-4 Body Definition Parameters and Deformation Tables). Several potential applications are overviewed. This software tool was developed in the framework of the IST-INTERFACE European project [18].

متن کاملMultimodal Animation System Based on the Mpeg-4 Standard
In this paper we describe experiments of real-time facial animation for generation of various virtual actors using high level-actions, compatible with MPEG-4 standard specifications. An MPEG-4 compatible synthetic face and body are integrated into an interactive real-time application allowing the user-friendly control of virtual humans' facial animation and its speech in real-time. This applica...
