Title:

    Interactive skeleton extraction for 3D animation using geodesic distances

Presenter(s)/Author(s):



Abstract:


    Skeletons of 3D models are important components for creat- ing 3D animations. Ordinary 3D computer graphics software  are used frequently for the skeleton extraction, however, they are complicated for beginners because they contain lots of functions. Therefore, we propose firstly a method which realizes a fully automatic skeleton extraction from object data of the 3D models, and then we propose a method which allows users to extract skeleton flexibly by using a boundary shape.
