چکیده

An algorithm or a program can be animated by a movie that graphically represents its dynamic execution. A sorting algorithm, for instance, might be animated by a sequence of frames that shows a set of vertical lines of various heights being permuted into order of increasing height. Such animations are useful for developing new programs, for debugging, and for explaining how programs work. This paper describes ANIM, a basic system for algorithm animation. The output is crude, but ANIM is easy to use; a novice user can animate a program in an hour or two. ANIM cunently produces movies with the X window system, among others; it also renders movies into "stills" that can be included in TROFF or TEX documents.

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...

Analysis and Synthesis of Facial Expressions by Feature-Points Tracking and Deformable Model

Face expression recognition is useful for designing new interactive devices offering the possibility of new ways for human to interact with computer systems. In this paper we develop a facial expressions analysis and synthesis system. The analysis part of the system is based on the facial features extracted from facial feature points (FFP) in frontal image sequences. Selected facial feature poi...

Key Decisions in Adopting Algorithm Animation for Teaching

Algorithm Animation is becoming increasingly popular with several educators. However, certain key questions have to be addressed before an informed decision on a given system can be made. This paper tries to identify several such questions and provide a brief overview of some algorithm animation systems. The key decisions are grouped in four entries: system type and animation generation approac...

A Speech Driven Face Animation System Based on Machine Learning

Lip synchronization is the key issue in speech driven face animation system. In this paper, some clustering and machine learning methods are combined together to estimate face animation parameters from audio sequences and then apply the learning results to MPEG-4 based speech driven face animation system. Based on a large recorded audio-visual database, an unsupervised cluster algorithm is prop...
