“…This work is motivated by various emerging real-life applications. In character animation, for example, motions are generally simulated by modifying pre-recorded motions [13], and an attempt to perform this modification through distance constraints was already proposed in [9]. In air-traffic control, the positions of a set of flying airplanes needs to be predicted so that some distance constraints are satisfied, which are defined for guaranteeing collision avoidance (see for example the recent work in [15]).…”

Abstract. We introduce the dynamical distance geometry problem (dynDGP), where vertices of a given simple weighted undirected graph are to be embedded at different times t. Solutions to the dynDGP can be seen as motions of a given set of objects. In this work, we focus our attention on a class of instances where motion inter-frame distances are not available, and reduce the problem of embedding every motion frame as a static distance geometry problem. Some preliminary computational experiments are presented.

“…By far, the common methods for character animation can be mainly classified into three categories: kinematic animation, dynamics animation and animation based on motion capture data [1,2].…”

Abstract. In this paper, we present an integrated framework with easy and effective techniques to generate new motions of a character in real-time, using only a short segment of motion data. In this framework, a sequence of segment copies are strung together and then smoothed by a transition method at a junction of two consecutive segments. We use IK thought for the transition to solve the foot-slide problem at the junctions. Given a new motion path, we combine the IK constraints and the sequence of smoothed motion capture data to adjust the human-like model. Based on only a sample motion segment, our method can generate a sequence of motions following an arbitrary path specified by the user. Furthermore, it is easy to implement and can be applied to highly kinetic motions. The experimental results demonstrate our scheme.

“…Figure 2, illustrates this categorization. The next section describes these three levels, outlining the evolution that progressed from purely kinematic "knowledge-based" methods (1980's) towards approaches that incorporate dynamic simulations to generate motions (1990's) and even towards interactive blending and further tuning of synthetic or captured motion (1997 onwards); see also (Multon et al, 1999). The aim is not on emphasizing on the historical perspective of this classification but rather on describing the intrinsic advantages and/or limitations of each one of them.…”

Computer Animation, has advanced significantly as well as spectacularly over the last two-to-three decades. The interesting field has innovated tremendously moving from first-generation i.e. purely geometric models where motion was developed using kinematic techniques, to secondgeneration i.e. physical-based models (direct versus inverse dynamics and hybrid systems), towards the development of the third-generation i.e. autonomous behaviour through learning and perception. The simulation and animation of a variety of real-world objects appear with stunning realism. However, the main issue here is not on what we have achieved but rather, based on what we have achieved, what is to follow. The emerging results are expected immensely by researchers in the field, worldwide. The paper delivers a survey on human figure animation and in particular a classification framework of the work done on the control of locomotion.
