초록

네트워크 환경에서 인체형 캐릭터의 모델링과 애니메이션 데이터의 호환성을 위해서는 특정 그래픽스 도구나 프로그램에 의존하지 않는 시스템 독립적인 인체 데이터 형식이 필요하다. 이를 위한 목적으로 Web3D 컨소시엄과 ISO/IEC SC24 WG6가 공동으로 제정한 국제표준 ISO/IEC 19774 H-Anim은 관절이 있는 인체형 데이터 구조를 정의하며 모션 생성에 필요한 계층 구조를 정의하고 있으나 모션 생성 방법을 위한 데이터에 대해서는 정의하고 있지 않다. 본 논문은 응용 프로그램간의 모션 데이터의 호환성과 독립성을 목적으로 하며, H-Anim 캐릭터의 모션 데이터 규격 정의 및 활용을 위한 모션 리타겟팅 구현의 단순화 방법을 기술한다. 그리고, 일반 그래픽스 도구에 의해 제작한 임의의 3차원 캐릭터와, 이 모델과는 관련이 없이 생성된 임의의 모션 캡처 데이터를 이용하여 H-Anim 구조의 캐릭터 애니메이션을 생성하는 방법과 실험 결과를 설명한다.

There is a need for a system independent human data format that doesn't depend on a specific graphics tool or program to use interoperable human data in a network environment. To achieve this, the Web3D Consortium and ISO/IEC JTC1 WG6 developed the international draft standard ISO/IEC 19774 Humanoid Animation(H-Anim). H-Anim defines the data structure for an articulated human figure, but it does not yet define the data for human motion generation. This paper discusses a method of obtaining compatibility and independence of motion data between application programs, and describes a method of simplifying motion retargetting necessary for motion definition of H-Anim characters. In addition, it describes a method of generating H-Anim character animation using arbitrary 3D character models and arbitrary motion capture data without any inter-relations, and its implementation results.
