Human motion synthesis is an important problem for applications in graphics and gaming,
and even in simulation environments for robotics. Existing methods require accurate motion …

We introduce a method to synthesize animator guided human motion across 3D scenes.
Given a set of sparse (3 or 4) joint locations (such as the location of a person's hand and two …

Many compelling applications would become feasible if novice users had the ability to
synthesize high quality human motion based only on a simple sketch and a few easily …

The ways to compute the kinematics and dynamic quantities of human bodies in motion
have been studied in many biomedical papers. This paper presents a comprehensive …

In this paper, we present an example-based motion synthesis technique that generates
continuous streams of high-fidelity, controllable motion for interactive applications, such as …

We review methods for kinematic tracking of the human body in video. The review is part of a
projected book that is intended to cross-fertilize ideas about motion representation between …

Animated virtual human characters are a common feature in interactive graphical
applications, such as computer and video games, online virtual worlds and simulations. Due …

This paper explores a behavior planning approach to automatically generate realistic
motions for animated characters. Motion clips are abstracted as high-level behaviors and …

Human speech is often accompanied by body gestures including arm and hand gestures.
We present a method that reenacts a high-quality video with gestures matching a target …

Real time animation of human figures in virtual environments is an important problem in the
context of computer games and virtual environments. Recently, the use of large collections …
