Abstract

Interpolator representation in key-frame animation is now the most popular method for computer animation. The interpolator data consist of key and key value pairs, where a key is a time stamp and a key value is the corresponding value to the key. In this paper, we propose a set of new technologies to compress the interpolator data. The performance of the proposed technique is compared with the existing MPEG-4 generic compression tool. Throughout the core experiments in MPEG-4, the proposed technique showed its superiority over the existing tool, becoming a part of MPEG-4 standard within the Animation Framework eXtension framework.
