Readings / Read0427Puppetry

For Monday, April 27th, we'll talk about Real-Time/Online motion capture processing. This is mainly an excuse to talk a little bit about Kalman filters (which are a really importance concept across engineering), and constraint processing in motion.

The reading:

• Computer Puppetry, an Importance-Based Approach. by Shin, Gleicher, Lee, and Shin. (pdf)

Optional readings:

• (recommended - if you're interested in puppetry) Layered Acting for Character Animation Dontcheva, M., Yngve, G., and Popovic', Z http://grail.cs.washington.edu/projects/rapid-anim/
• If you really want to learn about Kalman filters (which is a good thing, not just for Puppetry), the best resource is Greg Welch's page at UNC http://www.cs.unc.edu/~welch/kalman/
• The Maybeck book is a lot easier to digest: http://www.cs.unc.edu/~welch/kalman/maybeck.html
