Assessment Criteria for 2D Shape Transformations in Animation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The assessment of 2 0 shape transformations (or morphing) for animation is a dificult task because it is a multi-dimensional problem. Existing morphing techniques pay most attention to shape information, interactive control and mathematical simplicity. This paper shows that it is not enough to use shape information only and we should consider other factors such as structure, dynamics, timing etc. The paper also shows that an overall objective assessment of morphing is impossible because factors such as timing are related to subjective judgement, yet local objective assessment criteria, e.g. based on shape, are available. W e propose using “area preservation” as the shape criterion for the ZD case as an acceptable approximation to iivolume preservation” in reality, and use it to establish cases in which a number of existing techniques give clearly incorrect results. The possibility of deriving objective assessment criteria fo r dynamics simulations and timing ,under certain conditions is discussed in the paper.

پویانمایی شخصیت کارتونی با انتقال حرکت مفصلی و مبتنی بر اسکلت موجودات دیگر
Abstract: Nowadays, the animators give life to the fancy characters by making natural movements to organs of cartoon characters. To achieve this goal, movements of living individuals can be applied into cartoon characters. In this paper, a skeletal correspondence finding based method is proposed to transfer movement of a 2D character into a new character, where these two shapes have the same st...
متن کاملFIX: Feature-based Image Transformations for Face Animation
This paper proposes a simple yet effective 2D image transformation method for face animation. Instead of using complicated 3D models or a large database of 2D images, a set of transformations are learned to create different visual effects in a given image, including talking, changing facial expressions, and head movement. This approach enables creation of realistic images with minimum input dat...
متن کاملAlhambra: A System for Producing 2D Animation
There is a great interest in producing computer animation that looks like 2D classic animation. The flat shading, silhouettes and inside contour lines are all visual characteristics that, joined to flexible expressiveness, constitute the basic elements of 2D animation. We have developed methods for obtaining the silhouettes and interior curves from polygonal models. Virtual lights is a new meth...
متن کامل3D shape and texture morphing using 2D projection and reconstruction
We present an algorithm for morphing shape and view-dependent texture that utilizes an unstructured lumigraph representation to (1) gracefully handle topological changes, (2) create plausible appearance transformations, and (3) provide user control independent from the underlying mesh structure. It works by reducing the otherwise complex problem of a 3D shape and material morph into multiple si...
متن کامل2D shape deformation based on rigid square matching
In this paper, we propose a fast and stable method for 2D shape deformation based on rigid square matching. Our method utilizes uniform quadrangular control meshes for 2D shapes and tries to maintain the rigidity of each square in the control mesh during user manipulation. A rigid shape matching method is performed to find an optimal pure rotational transformation for each square in the control...
