The role of sound in producing 3D animation clip is one of the important factor to maximize the immersive effects of the scene. Especially interaction between video and sound makes the scene expressions more apparent, which is diversely applied in video production. One of these interaction techniques, the out-focussing technique is frequently used in both real video and 3D animation field. But in 3D animation, out-focussing is not easily implemented as in music videos or explosion scenes in real video shots. This paper analyzes the sound data to synchronize the depth of field with it. The novel out-focussing technique is proposed, where the object's field of depth is controlled by beat rhythm in the sound data.

Inverse kinematics is a very useful method for control]ing the posture of an articulated body. In most inverse kinematics processes, the major matter of concern is not the posture of an articulated body itself but the position and direction of the end effector. In some applications such as 3D character animations, however, it is more important to generate an overall natural posture for the character rather than place the end effector in the exact position. Indeed, when an animator wants to modify the posture of a human-like 3D character with many physical constraints, he has to undergo considerable trial-and-error to generate a realistic posture for the character. In this paper, the Inductive Inverse Kinematics(IIK) algorithm using a Uniform Posture Map(UPM) is proposed to control the posture of a human-like 3D character. The proposed algorithm quantizes human behaviors without distortion to generate a UPM, and then generates a natural posture by searching the UPM. If necessary, the resulting posture could be compensated with a traditional Cyclic Coordinate Descent (CCD). The proposed method could be applied to produce 3D-character animations based on the key frame method, 3D games and virtual reality.

본 연구에서는 영화나 게임 등에서 사용되는 인간형 관절체의 움직임을 만들어내기 위하여 동역학 시뮬레이션을 이용하는 방법을 제안한다. 동역학을 이용하여 동작을 생성하는 방법은 실제 배우가 연기하기 힘들어서 동작 포착을 활용할 수 없는 경우, 키프레임 방식에 비해 보다 사실적이고 효과적으로 동작을 만들어 내는 장점이 있다. 하지만 시간이 많이 소요되고 결과 동작을 예측하거나 제어하기 힘들기 때문에 지금까지 활용도가 낮았다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 방법은 복잡한 최적화나 컨트롤러 모델링과정 없이 동작 포착 데이터를 이용한 비례 미분 제어기를 통해서 포착된 동작과 유사한 패턴을 가지는 관절 제어기를 만들어낸다. 특히, 내부 관절 제어기뿐만 아니라 최상위 관절에 작용하는 가장제어기를 생성하여 포착된 동작의 관절 궤적을 보다 효과적으로 흉내 낼 수 있게 한다. 생성된 제어기의 매개변수를 조정함으로써 여러 가지 효과를 만들어 낼 수 있으며, 동시에 다양한 동작 패턴도 적용 가능하다. 마지막으로 제어기를 통해 시뮬레이션 되는 동작과 원래 동작 포착된 결과를 혼합하거나 보간함으로써 최종 동작을 생성한다.

키네틱 타이포그래피는 오늘날 다양한 분야에서 문자 및 텍스트에 시각적 효과를 주는데 사용되고 있다. 현재 키네틱 타이포그래피 제작을 위한 기존의 저작 도구에서는 주로 키프레임 보간 방식을 이용하여 텍스트에 애니메이션 효과를 적용한다. 그러나 키네틱 타이포그래피에서 자주 쓰이는 효과 중 하나인 텍스트의 일부가 다른 텍스트보다 먼저 특정 위치로 이동한 뒤 나머지 텍스트가 순서대로 도달하는 효과는 기존의 방법으로는 각각의 텍스트를 따로 조작하게 되어 불편하고 저작 시간이 길어진다는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 텍스트 내에서 사용자가 원하는 부분만을 스케치로 선택한 뒤, 선택된 부분을 먼저 이동시키고 나머지 부분은 선형 보간을 활용하여 이동시키는 기법을 제안함으로써 복수의 텍스트를 개별적으로 조작해야만 하는 기존의 문제를 해결할 수 있는 스케치 기반의 인터페이스 및 시스템을 제안한다.

This paper presents novel segmentation and transition techniques for dancing motion synthesis. The segmentation method for dancing motions is based on Laban Movement Analysis (LMA). We assume a dance sequence as a set of small dancing motions. To segment a dancing motion is a subjective, psychological, and complex problem, so we extract the shape factor of LMA from a dance motion and observe shape's changes to find the boundaries of dance segments. We also introduce a transition method that meets constraints on the feet. This method that is based on a linear interpolation modifies the intermediate posture motion after analyzing footprint positions. The posture could be a key-frame between source motion and target motion on the transition. With the proposed techniques, it would be easy for multimedia applications to generate plausible dance motions.

The steadicam effects is widely used in production of the 3D animation for natural camera movement. Conventional method for steadicam effects is using keyframe animation technique, which is annoying and time consuming process. Furthermore it is difficult and unnatural to simulate camera movement in real world. In this paper we propose a novel method for representing steadicam effects on virtual camera of 3D animation. We modeled a camera of real world into Maya production tools, considering gravity, mass and elasticity. The model is implemented with Python language, which is directly applied to Maya platform as a filter module. The proposed method reduces production time and improves production environment. It also makes more natural and realistic footage to maximize visual effects.

By improving performance of mobile machine(3D engine, 3D accelerator chip set, etc) and developing wireless network technology, a demand for actual contents of users is being increased rapidly. But, there are some difficulties yet for the speedy development of actual contents because of the limitation of development resources that is dependent on each mobile device's different performance. In general, much of the animated character-creation work for mobile environment is still done manually by experienced animator with the method of key frame processing. However, it needs a lot of time and more costs for creating motion. Additionally, it is possible to cause a distortion of motion. In this paper, I solved the difficulties by using a optical motion capture system, it was able to acquire accurate motion data more easily and quickly, and then it was possible to make 3D dance contents efficiently. Also, I showed techniques of key reduction and controlling frame number for using huge amounts of motion capture data in mobile environment which requires less resources. In making 3D dance contents, using an optical motion capture system was verified that it was more efficient to make and use actual-reality contents by creating actual character motion and by decreasing processing time than existing method.

It is difficult to reuse the captured motion data, because the data has a difficulty in editing it. In this paper, a uniform posture mar (UPM) algorithm, one of unsupervised learning neural network is proposed to edit the captured motion data. Because it needs much less computational cost than other motion editing algorithms, it is adequate to apply in teal-time applications. The UPM algorithm prevents from generating an unreal posture in learning phase. It not only makes more realistic motion curves, but also contributes to making more natural motions. Above of all, it complements the weakness of the existing algorithm where the calculation quantity increases in proportion to increase the number of restricted condition to solve the problems of high order articulated body. In this paper, it is shown two applications as a visible the application instance of UPM algorithm. One is a motion transition editing system, the other is a inductive inverse kinematics system. This method could be applied to produce 3D character animation based on key frame method, 3D game, and virtual reality, etc.

This paper presents a method to retarget a source motion to the rig-space parameter for a target character that can be equipped with a complex rig structure as used in traditional animation pipelines. Our solution allows the animators to edit the retargeted motion easily and intuitively as they can work with the same rig parameters that have been used for keyframe animation. To acheive this, we analyze the correspondence between the source motion space and the target rig-space, followed by performing non-linear optimization for the motion retargeting to target rig-space. We observed the general workflow practiced by animators and apply this process to the optimization step.
