본 논문에서는 IK 리깅을 이용한 캐릭터 콘텐츠 영상 제작을 제안한다. IK 콘텐츠를 2D와 3D로 제작할 수 있는데 본 연구에서는 2D로 캐릭터의 이미지를 레이어로 제작하고, IK의 bone은 스크립트로 생성하였다. 따라서 인체의 각 관절에 해당하는 부위에 리깅을 부여하여 자유로운 캐릭터를 제작하였고, 이러한 캐릭터의 제작은 모션 캡처 제작비용에 비해서 상당히 비용부담이 적은 경제성을 나타내고, 다양한 영역에서 활용 할 수 있다고 사료한다.

본 논문에서는 대용량의 K-POP 모션캡처 데이터베이스에서 특정 안무구간을 검색하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안 기술은 저가형 3D 카메라를 이용하여 사용자가 직접 검색하고자 하는 동작을 생성하고 이를 질의동작으로 입력하여 원하는 안무동작을 검색하는 직관적인 검색 기술로서 구간 동작의 명칭이 존재하지 않는 K-POP 댄스를 검색하기 위한 핵심기술이다. 역동적인 댄스 자세를 표현하고 매칭하는 방법으로 관절 및 바디파트 간의 상대적인 각도 정보를 추출하고 비교하는 방법을 설명한다. 대용량의 모션캡쳐 데이터베이스를 고속으로 검색하기 위해서 안무동작의 핵심 자세를 분석하여 후보구간 집합을 빠르게 생성하고, 이들 집합에서 Dynamic Time Warping(DTW) 알고리즘으로 안무동작 간의 매칭거리를 보다 정밀하게 산출한다. 약 358분의 K-POP 댄스 곡 100곡에 대한 성능평가에서 92%의 검색정확도를 보였으며, 이는 K-POP 댄스 동작의 복잡성을 고려할 때 경쟁력 있는 성능치이다.

Previous hardware devices to capture human motion have many limitations; expensive equipment, complexity of manipulation or constraints of human motion. In order to overcome these problems, real-time motion capture algorithms based on computer vision have been actively proposed. This paper presents an efficient analysis method of multiple view images for real-time motion capture. First, we detect the skin color regions of human being, and then correct the image coordinates of the regions by using camera calibration and epipolar geometry. Finally, we track the human body part and capture human motion using kalman filter. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can estimate a precise position of the human body.

This study is regarding what motion modality has influences on aspects of genre and media. Nowadays, motion modality becomes an element which is actively manipulated in live actions as well as animations. And, it has been generally accepted that a strategy on manipulation of motion depends on matters of genre or medium. As respected, can we say the premise is correct? if it is, can we refine the premise more theoretically, without using the words, 'genre' or 'media' which have not been are not been defined on an academic aspect. I intend to discuss on this issue. I will speculate the issue of manipulation of motion modality on theoretical bases. According to McLuhan's hot/cool media theory and Bolter's oscillation theory, the effect of it turns out to be same as manipulation of sentience ratio of media readers, and the ideal result will be examined by an example analysis. In the analysis, I will explore what effects manipulation of motion has on several examples. Then, by examining what kind of correlation these effects has with media/genre positioning, I ultimately will evaluate the genre/medium-based determinism of motion modality, which is represented by a typical premise like "Animation is most realistic when it has the most animation-like movement." Conclusively I suggest a refined premise like the following. Modality of motion is a strategy depending on issues of genre, with no regard to issues of medium, and the issue of genre is a category which is positioned considering mixture ratio of sentience. With this reason, A strategy of modality of motion depends to sentience a certain sequence needs. So, motion modality becomes a strategy which has to be approached in functionality of genre rather than economic values which spring from technical devices like a motion capture.

This paper proposes a simple deformation method for editing the trajectory of a walking motion with preserving its style. To this end, our method analyzes the trajectory of the root joint into the graph and deforms it by applying the graph Laplace operator. The trajectory of the root joint is presented as a graph with a vertex defined the position and direction at each time frame on the motion dataThe graph transforms the trajectory into the differential coordinate, and if the constraints are set on the trajectory vertex, the solver iterative approaches to the solution. By modifying the root trajectory, we can continuously vary the walking motion, which reduces the cost of capturing a whole motion that is required. After computes the root trajectory, other joints are copied on the root and post-processed as a final motion. At the end of our paper, we show the application that the character continuously walks in a complex environment while satisfying user constraints.

As humanoid robot technology advances, the use of robots for performance is increasing. As a result, studies are being conducted to increase the scope of use of robots in performances by making them natural like humans. Among them, the use of motion capture technology is often used, and there are environmental inconveniences in preparing for motion capture, such as the need for IMU sensors or markers attached to each part of the body and precise high-performance cameras. In addition, for robots used in performance technology, there is a problem that they have to respond in real time depending on the unexpected situation or the audience's response. To make up for the above mentioned problems, in this paper, we proposed a real-time motion capture system by using a number of RGB-D cameras and creating natural robot motion similar to human motion by using motion-captured data.

In modern society, blind people face difficulties in navigating common environments such as sidewalks, elevators, and crosswalks. Research has been conducted to alleviate these inconveniences for the visually impaired through the use of visual and audio aids. However, such research often encounters limitations when it comes to practical implementation due to the high cost of wearable devices, high-performance CCTV systems, and voice sensors. In this paper, we propose an artificial intelligence fusion algorithm that utilizes low-cost video sensors integrated into smartphones to help blind people safely navigate their surroundings during walking. The proposed algorithm combines motion capture and object detection algorithms to detect moving people and various obstacles encountered during walking. We employed the MediaPipe library for motion capture to model and detect surrounding pedestrians during motion. Additionally, we used object detection algorithms to model and detect various obstacles that can occur during walking on sidewalks. Through experimentation, we validated the performance of the artificial intelligence fusion algorithm, achieving accuracy of 0.92, precision of 0.91, recall of 0.99, and an F1 score of 0.95. This research can assist blind people in navigating through obstacles such as bollards, shared scooters, and vehicles encountered during walking, thereby enhancing their mobility and safety.

This paper presents an interactive locomotion controller using motion capture data and inverted pendulum model. Most of the data-driven character controller using motion capture data have two kinds of limitation. First, it needs many example motion capture data to generate realistic motion. Second, it is difficult to make natural-looking motion when characters navigate dynamic terrain. In this paper, we present a technique that uses dimension reduction technique to motion capture data together with the Gaussian process dynamical model (GPDM), and interpolates the low-dimensional data to make final motion. With the low-dimensional data, we can make realistic walking motion with few example motion capture data. In addition, we apply the inverted pendulum model (IPM) to calculate the root trajectory considering the real-time user input upon the dynamic terrain. Our method can be used in game, virtual training, and many real-time applications.

We present a new interactive technique for directing the motion sequences of an animated character by dragging its specific body part to a desired location in the three-dimensional virtual environment via a hand motion tracking device. The motion sequences of our character is synthesized by reordering subsequences of captured motion data based on a well-known graph representation. For each new input location, our system samples the space of possible future states by unrolling the graph into a spatial search tree, and retrieves one of the states at which the dragged body part of the character gets closer to the input location. We minimize the difference between each pair of successively retrieved states, so that the user is able to anticipate which states will be found by varying the input location, and resultantly, to quickly reach the desired states. The usefulness of our method is demonstrated through experiments with breakdance, boxing, and basketball motion data.
