Abstract
We approach the problem of example-based motion synthesis by transforming motion data into a vector space representation. This allows many techniques successful for stationary object synthesis applicable to that of motion. Especially, by separating generation of motion into a time-consuming preprocess and a fast process, it lets on-the-fly motion synthesis able to use a rich set of examplar motions and handle motion attributes invariant for each individual, both of which are difficult to be addressed by previous approaches based on interpolation.
