Representation of Complex Animated Figures
نویسنده
چکیده
Humans and animals are extraordinarily complex mechanical systems whose articulated movements are difficult to represent, control, and display. This paper describes a method for representing articulated figures as skeletons, for use with a skeleton animation system currently under development. Our implementation includes a translator for mapping structured descriptions of skeletons into an internal representation, a movement processor which accepts input from movement scripts or motor control programs, and a graphical processor which allows debugging, display, and real-time playback of motion sequences. Output from the graphics processor can be interfaced to a variety of display algorithrr~ so that 3-D shaded and anti-alia sed animation can be produced using data generated by the skeleton a nima tion s ys tern .

On the irreducibility of the complex specialization of the representation of the Hecke algebra of the complex reflection group $G_7$
We consider a 2-dimensional representation of the Hecke algebra $H(G_7, u)$, where $G_7$ is the complex reflection group and $u$ is the set of indeterminates $u = (x_1,x_2,y_1,y_2,y_3,z_1,z_2,z_3)$. After specializing the indetrminates to non zero complex numbers, we then determine a necessary and sufficient condition that guarantees the irreducibility of the complex specialization of the repre...
متن کاملLinguistic Devices of Identity Representation in English Political Discourse with a Focus on Personal Pronouns: Power and Solidarity
The present study was aimed at exploring the use of pronominal reference for identity representation in terms of power and solidarity in English political discourse. The investigation was based on a corpus of four political interviews and debates amounting 26,500 words. The analysis was both qualitative and quantitative. In the qualitative analysis, a discourse-analytic approach was used to fin...
متن کاملMulti-Resolution Rendering of Complex Animated Scenes
We present a novel multi-resolution point sample rendering algorithm for keyframe animations. The algorithm accepts triangle meshes of arbitrary topology as input which are animated by specifying different sets of vertices at keyframe positions. A multi-resolution representation consisting of prefiltered point samples and triangles is built to represent the animated mesh at different levels of ...
متن کاملA new graphical format to communicate treatment effects to patients—A web‐based randomized controlled trial
OBJECTIVE Patients making treatment decisions require understandable evidence-based information. However, evidence on graphical presentation of benefits and side-effects of medical treatments is not conclusive. The study evaluated a new space-saving format, CLARIFIG (clarifying risk figures), aiming to facilitate accuracy of comprehension. METHODS CLARIFIG displays groups of patients with and...
متن کاملPerceptual Grouping of Biological Motion Promotes Binocular Rivalry
Investigation of perceptual rivalry between conflicting stimuli presented one to each eye can further understanding of the neural underpinnings of conscious visual perception. During rivalry, visual awareness fluctuates between perceptions of the two stimuli. Here, we demonstrate that high-level perceptual grouping can promote rivalry between stimulus pairs that would otherwise be perceived as ...
