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.
