    Abstract: The present invention sets forth a technique for performing automated motion adaptation in an animated sequence. The technique includes generating a set of one or more motion sequences based on motion capture data and selecting one of the set of motion sequences based on a score function value. The technique also includes adapting the selected motion sequence such that the adapted motion sequence, when applied to an animation character model, causes the animation character model to move from a specified starting position associated with the animation character to a specified goal position associated with the animation character.

  • Patent number: 10095953
    Abstract: Techniques of depth modification for display applications are disclosed. A multiscopic video frame, including at least first and second images depicting a scene, is received. Depth information pertaining to the multiscopic video frame is received. A depth mapping function is determined based on one or more image characteristics of the multiscopic video frame, other than depth. The depth information is modified based on the depth mapping function. At least a third image is generated based on the modified depth information and based further on at least one of the first and second images, where the third image is output for display.
