Physical Touch-Up of Human Motions
Many popular motion editing methods do not take physical principles into account potentially producing implausible motions. This paper introduces an efficient method for touching up edited motions to improve physical plausibility. We start by estimating a mass distribution consistent with reference motions known to be physically correct. The edited motion is then divided into ground and flight ...
متن کاملChildren's memories of a physical examination involving genital touch: implications for reports of child sexual abuse.
Evaluation of child sexual abuse often necessitates interviewing children about genital touch, yet little scientific research exists on how best to obtain children's reports of genital contact. To examine this issue, 72 five- and seven-year-old girls experienced a standardized medical checkup. For half of the children, the checkup included a vaginal and anal examination (genital condition); for...
متن کاملPhysical Factors Influencing Pleasant Touch during Tactile Exploration
BACKGROUND When scanning surfaces, humans perceive some of their physical attributes. These percepts are frequently accompanied by a sensation of (un)pleasantness. We therefore hypothesized that aspects of the mechanical activity induced by scanning surfaces with fingertips could be objectively associated with a pleasantness sensation. Previously, we developed a unidimensional measure of pleasa...
متن کاملPhysical Factors Influencing Pleasant Touch during Passive Fingertip Stimulation
OBJECTIVE Tactile explorations with the fingertips provide information regarding the physical properties of surfaces and their relative pleasantness. Previously, we performed an investigation in the active touch domain and linked several surface properties (i.e. frictional force fluctuations and net friction) with their pleasantness levels. The aim of the present study was to investigate physic...
