Motion map

Abstract

Recent proliferation of motion capture systems enables motion data to be saved as an archive system, and the data are usually extracted by selecting an appropriate file by its name or annotation explaining the content of motions. Such semantic-based retrieval, however, is not suited to unstructured files that include many types of elemental motions, due to the difficulty in giving comprehensible annotations. Moreover, expected motion clips are often included as a part of entire sequences, and the data therefore should be manually clipped using some authoring tools.
