“…legs are blended separately and timing differences are compensated gradually [Huang et al 2013;Sung 2013]. However, these methods only work for transitions between two motions of boned characters, and not our more general mesh character case where transition length is unknown, and where we may interpolate between more than two animations (our most sophisticated example blends seven animations in a 4D space).…”

Figure 1: Top: Skeletal, facial, and hand motions are tracked by off-the-shelf sensors. From sparse user-defined examples, our method reliably separates and extrapolates simultaneously-performed gestures to control characters in games or VR. Bottom left: Dog happy walk, neutral run, shaking, and sitting. Bottom right: Caterpillar crawl variations, controlled by varying amplitude, phase, and frequency of input gestures. AbstractMotion-tracked real-time character control is important for games and VR, but current solutions are limited: retargeting is hard for nonhuman characters, with locomotion bound to the sensing volume; and pose mappings are ambiguous with difficult dynamic motion control. We robustly estimate wave properties -amplitude, frequency, and phase -for a set of interactively-defined gestures by mapping user motions to a low-dimensional independent representation. The mapping separates simultaneous or intersecting gestures, and extrapolates gesture variations from single training examples. For animations such as locomotion, wave properties map naturally to stride length, step frequency, and progression, and allow smooth transitions from standing, to walking, to running. Interpolating outof-phase locomotions is hard, e.g., quadruped legs between walks and runs switch phase, so we introduce a new time-interpolation scheme to reduce artifacts. These improvements to real-time motiontracked character control are important for common cyclic animations. We validate this in a user study, and show versatility to apply to part-and full-body motions across a variety of sensors.

“…Less work has been done in case of reconstruction of quadruped species motion: Huang et al synthesize motion sequences, driven by photographs of horses (Huang et al, 2013). In (Wilhelms and Van Gelder, 2003), the authors make use of contour detection techniques and fit a 3D model into the extracted 2D contours.…”

Abstract:Different techniques have been developed for capturing and retrieval, action recognition and video based reconstruction of human motion data in the past years. In this paper, we focus on how these techniques can be adapted to handle quadruped motion capture data and which new applications may appear. We discuss some particularities that must be considered during large animal motion capture. For retrieval, we derive suitable feature sets from quadrupeds motion capture data to perform fast searches for similar motions. Based on the retrieval techniques, the action recognition can be performed on the input motion capture sequences as well as on input video streams. We further present a data-driven approach to reconstruct quadruped motions from video data.

Walking analysis systems have begun to be used in veterinary medicine in recent years. The pressure-sensitive walkway is one of the systems through which we can obtain temporo-spatial and kinetic variables of walking. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the walking characteristics of English Setter dogs using a pressure-sensitive system. Twenty-five English Setter dogs were included in the study. Temporo-spatial and kinetic gait parameters were obtained with the pressuresensitive walkway system. Centre of pressure values were taken separately for the forelimbs and hindlimbs and were statistically analysed. The force values in the fore
