애니메이션은 주어진 키프레임(key frame)에 맞추어 움직이기 때문에, 다른 객체와 상호작용할 때 상대편 물체의 위치나 방향을 애니메이션에 맞추어 변환해야 한다. 이 논문에서는 모방학습으로 애니메이션을 학습하고, 모션 블렌딩(motion blending) 기법으로 객체 간 상호작용을 학습하여 새로운 애니메이션을 생성하는 방법을 제안한다. 에이전트(agent)는 오브젝트의 상태를 관측하고 주어진 모션들을 블렌딩하는 방법으로 다양한 행동을 취하고 목적에 대한 보상을 받는다. 에이전트가 행동하는 과정에서 모션 블렌딩 비율에 대한 가중치를 계산하는 함수를 설계하고, 생성되는 애니메이션이 사람이 취할 수 있는 동작에 가깝도록 회전 각도 clamping 함수와 보상 시스템을 설계하여 반영한다. 모방학습 기반 모션 블렌딩 기법은 객체의 변화에 상호작용하는 애니메이션을 기존 강화학습 기반 애니메이션 생성 기법보다 적은 학습량으로 생성할 수 있음을 확인했다.

This paper introduces a novel and fast synthesizing method for 3D motions of quadrupedal animals that uses only a small set of motion capture data. Unlike human motions, animal motions are relatively difficult to capture. Also, it is a challenge to synthesize continuously changing animal motions in real time because animals have various gait types according to their speed. The algorithm proposed herein, however, is able to synthesize continuously varying motions with proper limb configuration by using only one single cyclic animal motion per gait type based on the biologically driven Froude number. During the synthesis process, each gait type is automatically determined by its speed parameter, and the transition motions, which have not been entered as input, are synthesized accordingly by the optimized asynchronous motion blending technique. At the start time, given the user's control input, the motion path and spinal joints for turning are adjusted first and then the motion is stitched at any speed with proper transition motions to synthesize a long stream of motions.

This study suggests a technique to implement the production of animation by blending between key frame animation and motion capture animation through short animation 'Drip.' It reduced the time taken to produce an animation by not only enabling efficient process management through mutual organic connection but also conducting a process of mutually making up for weak points of key frame animation and motion capture animation. Through this, it was intended to be helpful in efficient animation production by overcoming the limitation of key frame animation and motion capture animation and perceiving and applying a complex process.

This paper proposes a composition method of mosaic image from the compressed MPEG-2 video stream, in which the displacement between successive frames according to the camera operation is estimated directly from the information involved in the stream. In the proposed method. the approximated optical flow is constructed from motion vectors of macro blocks, and it is used to determine the parameters of the displacements according to the camera operation associated with pan and tilt. The extracted parameters are used to determine the geometric transform of successive video frames in order to construct a mosaic image. The construction of mosaic uses several blending techniques including the one proposed by Nichols in which an analytic weight is used to determine pixel values. Through the experiment, the blending technique based on analytic weights was superior to the others such as averaging and median-based techniques. It provided more smooth changes in background and made use of instantaneous frame information to construct a mosaic. The mosaic in the paper puts the emphasis on the reduction of computation because it is constructed from the motion vectors included in the compressed video without decoding and recalculating exact optical flows. The constructed mosaic can be used in the retrieval of the compressed video as the representative frame of a shot.

3D 모션 데이터를 생성하는 것은 어려운 작업이다. 보다 효율적으로 3D 모션 데이터를 생성하기 위해 키프레임 방식, 모션편집, 모션편집 등 여러 가지 방법이 적용되고 있다. 가장 최근에 많이 적용하고 있는 모션편집 방식은 모션편집에 있어 여러 가지 장점을 가지고 있다. 모션편집 방법이 다른 방법보다는 3D 모션 데이터 생성이 쉬운 편이지만 그래도 많은 노력과 시간을 요구한다. 그러므로 적은 시간과 노력을 들이고 보다 효율적인 3D 모션데이터 생성을 위해 다양한 방법이 시도되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 모션편집 작업 중에 발생하는 모션 불연속문제를 효율적으로 해결하기 위하여, 곡선 보간법(Curve Interpolation)과 블랜딩(Blending)함수를 활용하여 모션의 연결부분을 자연스럽게 연결하는 기법을 제시하고자 한다.

In this paper we propose an image enhancement technique based on histogram specification method over local overlapping regions referred as Local Histogram Specification. First, both reference and original images are splitted into local regions that each overlaps half of its adjacent regions and general histogram specification method is used between corresponding local regions of reference and original image. However it produces noticeable boundary effects. Linear weighted image blending method is used to reduce this effect in order to make seamless image and we also proposed new technique dealing with over-enhanced contrast areas. We satisfied with our experimental results that showed better enhancement accuracy and less noise amplifications compared to other well-known image enhancement methods. We conclude that the proposed method is well suited for motion detection systems as a responsible part to overcome sudden illumination changes.

The techniques, which locate example motions in abstract parameter space and interpolate them to generate new motion with given parameters, are widely used in real-time animation system for its controllability and efficiency However, as the dimension of parameter space increases for more complex control, the number of example motions for parameterization increases exponentially. This paper proposes a method that uses two different parameter spaces to obtain decoupled control over upper-body and lower-body motion. At each frame time, each parameterized motion space produces a source frame, which satisfies the constraints involving the corresponding body part. Then, the target frame is synthesized by splicing the upper body of one source frame onto the lower body of the other. To generate corresponding source frames to each other, we present a novel scheme for time-warping. This decoupled parameterization alleviates the problems caused by dimensional complexity of the parameter space and provides users with layered control over the character. However, when the examples are parameterized based on their upper body's spatial properties, the parameters of the examples are varied individually with every change of its lower body. To handle this, we provide an approximation technique to change the positions of the examples rapidly in the parameter space.

This paper presents a motion generation technique for arbitrary morphologies with the user defined correspondences between joints. Users can define the controlling part in the source character and the part to be controlled in the target character in our system. To remove the restriction in the morphology of the target character, we use the pair of example posture sets. In our system, in order to provide the correspondence regardless of the number of joints, the deformed part in the target character is simplified into the direction vector. The final postures are then generated with the weighted sum of the examples. Our experimental results demonstrate that our approach can generate motions for various target characters and can control the user defined joints in real-time.

캐릭터 애니메이션에 모션 캡쳐를 도입하면서 사실적인 애니메이션의 제작에 않은 도움을 받을 수 있었지만, 필요한 동작 마다 계속해서 고가의 장비를 이용하여 데이터를 수집해야하기 때문에 모션 캡쳐를 이용한 애니메이션 제작에는 많은 비용이 든다. 본 논문에서는 이미 수집된 모션 캡쳐 데이터의 재사용 방안중 하나로 두 개의 캐릭터 애니메이션 시퀀스에서 개개의 특징을 유지하는 또 다른 애니메이션 시퀀스를 만들어내는 방법을 제안한다. 주성분분석(PCA)를 이용하여 두 모션의 평균 모션과 각각을 적절한 비율로 반영하여 선택, 합성하는 간단하면서도 직관적인 방법이다.
