Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The objective of this project is to generate realistic motions of virtual performers in a virtual environment. The motions will be learnt from data sets of actual human motions captured with a commercial marker based tracking system. We will use powerful algorithms developed for learning shape and spatio-temporal sequences in computer vision and statistical pattern recognition to develop tools for synthesising movement. The techniques developed in this project will be used for a choreographer's toolkit. This will be used on an experimental basis in a Department of Dance Studies, alongside existing multimedia tools. The emphasis on developing the toolkit will be tools of generic interest in the field of human motion synthesis.
