CISE Research Instrumentation: Data-Driven Modeling for Real-Time Interaction and Animation

该研究仪器支持以下研究项目：--动作感知--从演示中学习--用实验确定的参数制作动画--面部表情建模为了支持上述项目，为了捕捉、建模、识别和生成人体动作，该奖项用于在佐治亚理工学院计算学院购买动作捕捉设备、图形工作站和数码相机。这些设备将用于几个项目，旨在使在互动环境中轻松创建、控制人工人类并与其互动，以进行培训和娱乐。摄像头和运动捕捉设备将捕捉用户的全身和面部运动。图形工作站和其他可用的多处理器的处理能力将被用于创建数据驱动的模型，用于识别和生成从网球挥杆等全身动作到微妙面部表情的各种人类动作。这项技术的力量将通过构建交互环境来展示，在交互环境中，摄像机和运动捕捉设备将用于在线识别用户动作，而图形工作站将用于根据离线得出的模型实时制作人体动画。原型应用程序将是互动性和真实感关键的环境，例如针对物理任务的训练环境和高度交互和响应的角色的动画。

The equipment will be used for several projects aimed at making it easy to create, control, and interact with artificial humans in interactiveenvironments for training and entertainment. The cameras and motion capture equipment will capture full body and facial motion of the users. The processing power of the graphics workstations and other availablemulti-processors will be used to create data-driven models for recognition and generation of human actions ranging from full body motions such as a tennis swing to subtle facial expressions. The power of this technology will be demonstrated by constructing interactive environments in which the cameras and motion capture equipment will be used for on-line recognition of user actions and the graphics workstation will be used to animate human figures in real-time, based on the models derived off-line. The prototype applications will be environments where interactivity and realism are key, such as training environments for physical tasks and animation of highly interactive and responsive characters.
