| 81 | System supporting animation of graphical display elements through animation object instances | US10434718 | 2003-05-09 | US20040222992A1 | 2004-11-11 | Matt Calkins; Joseph Stephen Beda III; Kevin Gallo; Gilman K. Wong; Leonardo Esteban Blanco |
| A graphical display animation system is disclosed that supports timed modification of element property values of elements within a graphical display. The animation system utilizes a display structure for maintaining a set of elements corresponding to displayed objects within a graphically displayed scene. The elements include a variable property value. The animation system also utilizes a property system that maintains properties associated with elements maintained by the display structure. The properties include dynamic properties that are capable of changing over timenulland thus affecting the appearance of the corresponding element on a graphical display. The animation system includes animation classes, from which animation objects are instantiated and associated with an element property at runtime. The animation object instances provide time varying values affecting values assigned to the dynamic properties maintained by the property system. | ||||||

| Described is a method and system in which timing intervals are generated from clock properties, and used to interpolate values for smooth animation. A high-level component maintains a set of clocks related to animated objects and/or linear media in a scene graphs. The clocks correspond to clock properties received from an application program. The clocks are processed into event lists at the higher level, from which timing interval data is generated and passed to a low-level component. The low-level component, which generally operates at a faster rate than the high-level component, uses the timing interval data to rapidly calculate current values for an animated object. Interaction, such as to pause an animation or resume a paused animation, causes the high-level component to re-compute the event list and regenerate new animation intervals for affected clocks. The new animation intervals are passed and used by the lower-level component. | ||||||

| The present invention provides a method of allowing a user to efficiently direct the generation of frames in a computer animation. An object within a frame has an initial representation, e.g., position, orientation, scale, intensity, etc. A vector response characteristic can be associated with the object, where the vector response characteristic specifies how the representation of the object changes in response to applied vectors. For example, a ball might accelerate proportional to the directed magnitude of an applied vector, while a light source might change in intensity and color according to the direction and magnitude of an applied vector. Each object can have its own vector response characteristic, multiple vector response characteristics (e.g., applicable if different parts of the animation), and constraints on its vector response characteristics (e.g., must stay connected to another object). Objects can also generate their own vectors to apply to other objects (e.g., a wall can generate a vector to discourage objects from penetrating the wall). | ||||||

| A multiple-level graphics processing system and method (e.g., of an operating system) for providing improved graphics output including, for example, smooth animation. One such multiple-level graphics processing system comprises two components, including a tick-on-demand or slow-tick high-level component, and a fast-tick (e.g., at the graphics hardware frame refresh rate) low-level component. In general, the high-level, less frequent component performs computationally intensive aspects of updating animation parameters and traversing scene data structures, in order to pass simplified data structures to the low-level component. The low-level component operates at a higher frequency, such as the frame refresh rate of the graphics subsystem, to process the data structures into constant output data for the graphics subsystem. The low-level processing includes interpolating any parameter intervals as necessary to obtain instantaneous values to render the scene for each frame of animation. | ||||||

| Present application refers to a method, a model generation unit and a computer program (product) for generating trained models (M) of moving persons, based on physically measured person scan data (S). The approach is based on a common template (T) for the respective person and on the measured person scan data (S) in different shapes and different poses. Scan data are measured with a 3D laser scanner. A generic personal model is used for co-registering a set of person scan data (S) aligning the template (T) to the set of person scans (S) while simultaneously training the generic personal model to become a trained person model (M) by constraining the generic person model to be scan-specific, person-specific and pose-specific and providing the trained model (M), based on the co-registering of the measured object scan data (S). | ||||||
