چکیده
The contribution of this paper focuses on the definition of a multimedia application targeted at turning CGI films into a richer and more interactive experience. We combine highquality animated graphics to present a compelling story and enrich it by introducing a certain degree of interactivity: allowing the user to watch films using different camera paths. One of the main goals is to provide alternative ways to observe different facets of the same story, different versions according to user profiles and preferences. We propose a generic coding scheme for high-quality 3D animation, and augment it with an XML content descriptor. Based on the MPEG-7 standard, the descriptor provides information such as preset camera paths that can be freely chosen by the user. RÉSUMÉ. La contribution de ce travail est focalisée sur la définition d’un système multimédia avancé qui a pour but de rendre interactif le visionnage d’un film en images de synthèse. En effet, jusqu’à lors, la seule interaction possible avec un film qu’il soit en images de synthèse ou non est de choisir un scène particulière. Notre but principal est de proposer plusieurs façons de visionner une même histoire en accord avec le profil de l’utilisateur et de ces préférences habituelles, ce qui introduit un degré certain d’interactivité tout en maintenant des coûts quasi constant de production. Pour cela, nous proposons un codage générique et de haute qualité de la géométrie de l’animation de ce monde virtuel. A cela nous rajoutons une description XML de la scène qui contient plusieurs " chemins " de caméra prédéfinis qui peuvent être choisis par l’utilisateur.

Fast Realistic Human Body Deformations for Animation and VR Applications
Virtual Actors now play an important role in Computer-generated films, Virtual Environments, Telecooperative work, and multimedia. In order to make these actors realistic, it is essential to represent their body shape during the motion. In this paper, we present different methods for representing realistic deformations for virtual humans with various characteristics: sex, age, height, weight. O...
متن کاملAugmented Reality for Real and Virtual Humans
Current Virtual Reality technologies provide many ways to interact with Virtual Humans. Most of those techniques, however are limited to synthetic elements and require cumbersome sensors. We have combined a real-time simulation and rendering platform with a real-time, noninvasive vision based recognition system to investigate interactions in a mixed environment with real and synthetic elements....
متن کاملCGI-58 facilitates the mobilization of cytoplasmic triglyceride for lipoprotein secretion in hepatoma cells.
Comparative Gene Identification-58 (CGI-58) is a member of the alpha/beta-hydrolase family of proteins. Mutations in the human CGI-58 gene are associated with Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome, a rare autosomal recessive genetic disease in which excessive triglyceride (TG) accumulation occurs in multiple tissues. In this study, we investigated the role of CGI-58 in cellular lipid metabolism in several ...

متن کاملPredicting CpG Islands and Their Relationship with Genomic Feature in Cattle by Hidden Markov Model Algorithm
Cattle supply an important source of nutrition for humans in the world. CpG islands (CGIs) are very important and useful, as they carry functionally relevant epigenetic loci for whole genome studies. As a matter of fact, there have been no formal analyses of CGIs at the DNA sequence level in cattle genomes and therefore this study was carried out to fill the gap. We used hidden markov model alg...
