Title: A Survey of Motion Retrieval Methods In Motion Capture Databases"

Abstract:

Large motion human databases contain variants of natural motions that are valuable for animation generation and synthesis. But retrieving visually similar motions is still a difficult and time-consuming problem. In this talk, I give a survey of the methods for searching motion capture databases. I'll introduce my research work on this problem in the end.
