　　讲座内容：Animation by Example

The motion of animated human characters is notoriously difficult to create. Motion synthesis methods must achieve expressiveness, subtlety and realism. The current techniques for creating such quality motions, such as capturing it by observing real performers, can achieve these qualities in short, specific clips of motion. However, while these clips provide examples of what a character can do, a set of clips by itself does not provide sufficient flexibility to animate all of the things we might require of a character. We need methods that are capable of synthesizing new motions that have the qualities of the examples.
In this talk, The speaker will survey their efforts to create high-quality motion
for animation in a flexible manner,and describe four recent
projects from our group:
- Motion Graphs - an approach to creating new motions by assembling
pieces of existing motions;
- Snap Together Motion - an approach to using Motion Graphs in
interactive systems;
- Registration Curves - an approach to creating new motions that are
combinations (blends) of existing motions;
- Match Webs - an approach to searching and organizing a large
database of motions so that it can be used for synthesis tasks.
