ABSTRACT
We develop a novel system to concatenate motions with a smooth transition involving natural, redundant movements which cannot be obtained using traditional motion blending technique. Our basic idea is to apply a spline interpolation in a linear subspace in which each input motion is represented as a low-dimensional curve. By connecting the curves via a spline interpolation, a transition motion is synthesized according to a shape of the spline curve while preserving correlations among joints of input motions. Our system allows users to create a variety of transition motions with simple control of the spline parameters.

Polynomial spline surfaces with rational linear transitions
We explore a class of polynomial tensor-product spline surfaces on 3-6 polyhedra, whose vertices have valence n=3 or n=6. This restriction makes it possible to exclusively use rational linear transition maps between the pieces: transitions between the ...
Fairing an arc spline and designing with G2 PH quintic spiral transitions
This paper describes a method to smooth an arc spline. Arc splines are G1 continuous segments made of circular arcs and straight lines. We have proposed a smooth version of the arc spline by replacing its parts with C-, S-, and J-shaped spiral ...
Local modification of Pythagorean-hodograph quintic spline curves using the B-spline form
The problems of determining the B---spline form of a C2 Pythagorean---hodograph (PH) quintic spline curve interpolating given points, and of using this form to make local modifications, are addressed. To achieve the correct order of continuity, a ...
