Control Structure and Multi-Resolution Techniques for Virtual Human Representation

  • Chapter
Shape Analysis and Structuring

Part of the book series: Mathematics and Visualization ((MATHVISUAL))

A virtual human is a typical instance of articulated physical objects: it does not have only one shape but many, corresponding to all the possible postures that the underlying articulated skeleton can reach. For realistic rendering results, a high-quality texture is usually associated to the shape and skeleton structure. Controlling and animating a virtual human model requires simultaneously many graphics and computational resources.

The first part of this chapter discusses the control articulated skeleton structure and different approaches to build skeletons [10] and bind it to the geometry. The second part addresses the production of LoDs for virtual humans, both for the 3D shape (geometry) and the articulated skeleton (motion and animation).
