Epitomic Analysis of Human Motion
Epitomic analysis is a recent statistical approach to form a generative model. It has been recently applied to image, video, and audio data. In this paper, we describe a novel application of epitomic analysis to motion capture data. We show how to construct a motion epitome, and use it for various applications in animation such as motion synthesis, reconstruction and classification of motions. We discuss the use of motion epitome for measuring motion naturalness.
