My research for DMP Program in Summer 2005 mainly consists of 2 things :

1. To understand the perception of Human Motion in terms of dot patterns and how human would perceive these collections of human animation that we have generated earlier. In addition to that, we also want to find algorithms that would make the human animation more compelling and easier to perceive.

So far, what have been covered from previous papers are that human dot patterns can identify genders, feelings, etc.

The main thing of this research is to find out when would people fail to identify the dot patterns. This means that we want to know how important is the law of physics in order to be able to identifiy the patterns correctly and non-intuitive patterns would lead to confusion.

2. How scaling of human motions matters (scaling law).
Earlier papers discussed the idea that scaling of motion matters and that once the motion is scaled, it is said that it is not possible to have the same motions again.

The main thing of this research is to find out whether it is actually true that change of scale makes the motions change and there is no way to get around it.

If we are able to figure out the way of preserving the motions when changing scales, it is going to be very useful for computer graphics in the future, because we can just resize the motions so that it can be used both for adults and children.

Here are some of the pictures of my research so far.

For the perception of human motion research :

The scaling research:

We experimented different sizes of blobs with different speeds and interchange them to see what impacts it shows us.
This is the snapshot of the biggest blob.
