Motion Filter for Making Emphasized Human Motion

Abstract

This paper describes algorithms for the method to generate motions automatically. There are many efforts to generate motions with assistance from computers. But almost of these are methods for generating motions from scratch using computers - generally called "Computer Generated Animation". We propose a method called "Computer Aided Animation" which is a tool to help in animator generating motions. Many motions in cartoonized animation are included with impossible motions for human. Animator makes these motions based on knowledge of experiental techniques. The method in this paper works like a filter in the field of image processing. We call this method "Motion Filter". Motion Filter accepts captured motions from motion capture system and translate these motions to emphasized - cartoonized - motions.
