Composition and Making of Lower Extremity Movement by Using Action Unit

Abstract

Recently, various medias (film, TV, computer, and so on) are changing from analog to digital, and capturing human motion in computer graphics has attracted public attention. Therefore, we suggest a new human model for computer graphics. We use a muscle-based model “action unit”, and produce a software package. Present system can produce movements and compositions of the lower part of the body.
We suggest a new composition method using muscles of human body movement, and suggest a new storage method of movement information for the field of human body animation of VRML. Furthermore, we confirmed effectiveness of present method by experiments on the basis of usability engineering.
