  • System and method for motion editing multiple synchronized characters
    Patent number: 9030479
    Abstract: Disclosed are a system and a method for motion editing multiple synchronized characters. The motion editing system comprises: a Laplacian motion editor which edits a spatial route of inputted character data according to user conditions, and processes the distortion of the interaction time; and a discrete motion editor which applies a discrete transformation while the character data is processed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 19, 2009
    Date of Patent: May 12, 2015
    Assignee: SNU R&DB Foundation
    Inventors: Jehee Lee, Manmyung Kim
  • Method and system for simulating character
    Patent number: 8350861
    Abstract: A method and system for simulating a character is provided. The method of simulating a character including: optimizing motion data by using a displacement mapping and a Proportional Derivative (PD) control; and performing controller training by using the optimized motion data and controlling a motion of the character. In this instance, the optimizing includes: generating a target motion by using the displacement mapping between an input motion and a displacement parameter; and generating a simulated motion by using the target motion and an objective function.
