Motion Path Editing Based on Constraint Detection

Abstract:

This paper introduces a method for interactive direct manipulation of motion capture animation, which allows a user to alter positional properties of a motion and preserves the motions’ quality. The algorithm contains three stages: motion analysis, motion path editing, and constraint reconstruction. Our experiments show that by using the algorithm human motion can be transformed successfully from the old path to the new path.
