Rising from Various
Lying Postures
Overview
Animating rising motions is an important problem but has been less addressed in computer animation. This problem
is challenging as rising motions involve
complex motor skills and exhibit wide varieties due to various lying postures and environments. In this paper, we present an approach that utilizes motion planning and
dynamics filtering to produce physically plausible
rising motions. Our motion planning algorithm connects a given posture to a closest posture in a database of 14 rising motions. Then the dynamics filtering generates a physically plausible motion from a planned motion
path. Our experiments show that a variety of motions of rising from various
lying postures and different environments with obstacles can be generated easily by our approach.
