Synthesizing New Walk and Climb Motions from a Single Motion Captured Walk
Sequence
Abstract
We describe a method to dynamically synthesize believable, variable stride, and
variable foot lift motions for human walks and climbs. Our method is derived
from a single motion captured walk sequence, and is guided by a simple
kinematic walk model. The method allows control in the form of stride and lift
parameters. It generates a range of variations while maintaining
individualistic nuances of the captured performance.
The Proposal
Parameterize motion clip to synthesize variations suitable for adapting to spatial reuse constraints.
Use intutive parameters - stride and foot lift.
Our Contribution
Simple geometric model for walk and climb.
Parameterization using foot lift and stride parameters.
On the fly synthesis of walk and climb variations.
Results
This figure shows (left to right, top row) the base walk clip, walk with
uniformly modified stride, walk with receding stride, (left to right, bottom
row) walk with increased foot lift, and synthesized climb motion.
