20090154772 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PRODUCING LOCOMOTION ANIMATION BY USING RIDING MOTION - A method of producing a locomotion animation includes calculating movement information of the objects on the basis of surrounding information of the objects and motion capture data for the subjects, and measuring a collision between the objects or between an object and an obstacle on the basis of the movement information to calculate riding motion information for the subjects. The movement information and the riding motion information are then synthesized to determine movement motion and riding animations of the objects. Therefore, the motions of locomotion can be naturally connected with each other. | 06-18-2009 |
20100134500 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING CROWD ANIMATION - An apparatus for producing crowd animation includes: a user-input controller for receiving from a user level of detail (LOD) of each individual in a picture of the crowd animation; a simulation controller for performing simulation of the crowd animation for a specific time period to update simulation information on each individual; and a display controller for displaying the picture of the crowd animation by using display information corresponding to the LOD of each individual, the display information being selected among the simulation information. The LOD of each individual indicates: displaying the individual with location information thereof only; displaying the individual with the location and model information thereof; or displaying the individual with the location, model and motion information thereof. The simulation information includes location information, model information and motion information of each individual. | 06-03-2010 |
20110128292 | DYNAMICS-BASED MOTION GENERATION APPARATUS AND METHOD - A dynamics-based motion generation apparatus includes: a dynamics model conversion unit for automatically converting character model data into dynamics model data of a character to be subjected to a dynamics simulation; a dynamics model control unit for modifying the dynamics model data and adding or modifying an environment model; a dynamics motion conversion unit for automatically converting reference motion data of the character, which has been created by using the character model data, into dynamics motion data through the dynamics simulation by referring to the dynamics model data and the environment model; and a motion editing unit for editing the reference motion data to decrease a gap between reference motion data and dynamics motion data. The apparatus further includes a robot motion control unit for controlling a robot by inputting preset torque values to related joint motors of the robot by referring to the dynamics motion data. | 06-02-2011 |
20110142354 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTING POSE IN MOTION CAPTURE DATA - An apparatus for detecting a pose in motion capture data includes: a motion data input unit which receives motion data of characters; a virtual marker attaching unit for forming a point cloud by attaching virtual markers to joints of an end-effector of each character; and a scaling unit for, when a frame has different character size from an a character size of an original frame to be compared is detected, scaling the character size. The apparatus further includes an ICP algorithm execution unit for finding a matching transformation matrix between the original frame and each frame of the motion data, of which character size has been scaled, by applying an ICP algorithm, and determining a frame, in which character's pose has the smallest difference from that in the original frame based on a sum of the distances between the virtual markers chosen by sampling the matched two poses. | 06-16-2011 |
20110148870 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING GRAPHIC TENTACLE MOTIONS - Disclosed herein is a method and apparatus for generating graphic tentacle motions. In the method, a 3D tentacle is divided into a 1D center line and a 2D surface based on information about an initial mesh of the 3D tentacle. New locations of sample points of the center line in a new frame are determined from initial locations of sample points of the center line, based on a tentacle root motion. New locations of sample points of the surface in the new frame are determined from initial locations of sample points of the surface, based on both the initial locations of the center line sample points and the tentacle root motion. The surface is coupled to the center line using the locations of the sample points of both the center line and the surface in the new frame. | 06-23-2011 |
