Adaptive motion synthesis and motor invariant theory.
Generating natural-looking motion for virtual characters is a challenging research topic. It becomes even harder when adapting synthesized motion to interact with the environment. Current methods are tedious to use, computationally expensive and fail to capture natural looking features. These …

Motion capture based motion analysis and motion synthesis for human-like character animation.
Motion capture technology is recognised as a standard tool in the computer animation pipeline. It provides detailed movement for animators; however, it also introduces problems and brings concerns for creating realistic and convincing motion for character animation. In this thesis, the …

Realistic Motion Estimation Using Accelerometers
… that automatically perform realistic human motions with high speed at low monetary cost. So far, full body motion estimation of human complexity remains an important open problem. We propose a realistic motion estimation framework to control the animation of 3D avatars. Instead of relying on …

Globally -Coordinated Locally-Linear Modeling of Multi-Dimensional Data
… linear subspaces. In dynamic texture synthesis, we are able to model non-stationary dynamic textures, which cannot be handled by any of the existing approaches. In human motion synthesis, we show that realistic synthesis can be performed without using specific transition points, or key …

An Integrated Framework for Face Modeling, Facial Motion Analysis and Synthesis
… integrated framework for face modeling, facial motion analysis, and facial motion synthesis. This framework systematically addresses three closely related research issues: (1) selecting a quantitative representation of facial deformation for face modeling and animation; (2) automatic facial …

Beyond pixels : exploring new representations and applications for motion analysis
The focus of motion analysis has been on estimating a flow vector for every pixel by matching intensities. In my thesis, I will explore motion representations beyond the pixel level and new applications to which these representations lead. I first focus on analyzing motion from video sequences. …

Biologically-inspired control framework for insect animation.
… movements challenge the standard techniques of motion synthesis. This thesis addressed the aforementioned challenge by presenting a framework to efficiently automate the modelling and authoring of insect locomotion. This framework is inspired by two key observations of real insects: fixed gait …

Locomotion synthesis in complex physically simulated environments
Understanding and synthesizing locomotion of humans and animals will have far-reaching impacts in computer animation, robotic and biomechanics. However, due to the complexity of the neuromuscular control and physical interactions with the environment, computationally modeling these seemingly …

A Motion Graph Approach for Interactive 3D Animation using Low-cost Sensors
… enough to be comparable to studio quality human motion data. The commercial motion capture systems are expensive and not suitable for capture in everyday environments. Real-time requirements tend to reduce quality of animation. We present a motion graph based framework to produce high quality …

Modelling Bipedal Locomotion Using Wavelets for Figure Animation
… thesis addresses the problem of how to develop a motion-modelling approach that can produce motion that is not only believable but also expressive and individual. In recent years motion capture techniques have been widely used for creating realistic animation of articulated figures. The realism …
