ABSTRACT
Motion capture technology has been widely used for creating character motions. Motion editing is usually also required to adjust captured motions. Because character poses which include joint rotations, body positions, and orientations are high-dimensional data, it is difficult to manipulate character poses through a conventional mouse-based interface. We propose a motion editing system that uses a motion capture device. Our system can capture a motion and edit the captured motion using the same motion capture device. Our motion-capture-based interface can specify motion editing parameters such as time period, body part selection, end-effector position, pose, and motion segment. We conducted a user study to compare our system and conventional mouse-based motion editing system. The results showed that our interface is more efficient than the conventional interface.

SCA '02: Proceedings of the 2002 ACM SIGGRAPH/Eurographics symposium on Computer animationWhile motion capture is commonplace in character animation, often the raw motion data itself is not used. Rather, it is first fit onto a skeleton and then edited to satisfy the particular demands of the animation. This process can introduce artifacts ...
