In this paper, we present a method that generates a path that has no collision with the obstacles by using the environment information, and automatically creates natural motions of characters that are confined to the path. Our Method is based on two kinds of parameters: Environment and Behavior parameters. The behavior parameters include velocity, motion status such as walking and running, and ...

In this study, the Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects on the MHD ferrofluid flow over a cone with thermal radiation were discussed. Kerosene with the magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4) was considered. A set of transformed governing nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations were solved numerically using Runge-Kutta based shooting technique. A simulation was performed by mixing ferrou...

This paper presents a new inverse kinematics method that utilizes the motion data for realtime control and editing. The key idea is to extract parameters necessary for inverse kinematics from the motion data. These parameters are the weight matrix, which determines the motion of the redundant joints, and the transformation functions that define the motion of the end effectors. User can control ...

To estimate motion, the edges of a moving object can be detected using Active Contours. After detecting the edges throughout the duration of the motion, the contours are registered together in order to obtain the motion model parameters. This idea can be applied to motion artifacts in Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) which are caused by patient motion during the acquisition of an MRI. Thus, if t...

The present aim of this study is to investigate the effect of different parameters influencing pounding in highway bridges. Pounding is the result of a collision between two parts of the deck and/or the deck and abutments at the separation distance during the earthquake.  In the present study, the period ratio of the adjacent frames, ground motion spatial variation, and soil-structure interacti...

With growing ageing population, acquiring joint measurements with sufficient accuracy for reliable gait assessment is essential. Additionally, the quality of gait analysis relies heavily on accurate feature selection and classification. Sensor-driven and one-camera optical motion capture systems are becoming increasingly popular in the scientific literature due to their portability and cost-eff...

The goal of image restoration is to improve a given image in some predefined sense. Restoration attempts to recover an image by modelling the degradation function and applying the inverse process. Motion blur is a common type of degradation which is caused by the relative motion between an object and camera. Motion blur can be modeled by a point spread function consists of two parameters angle ...

The cameracentered motion representation is ([1][5][6]): This paper presents two algorithms for estimating motion and structure from long monocular image sequences: one using interframe correspondences, the other using point trajectories. Object-centered motion represenfations and motion models &scribed by up to the second order polynomials are used to estimate motion parameters from long image...
