....where the parameter curves are iteratively edited until the real time playback of the animation is judged satisfactory. This inability to specify the timing of an animation in an interactive way is a major drawback in all cases where the spontaneity of the animated object s behavior is important [42]. In these cases, defining the animation by straight ahead actions is clearly a better solution [21] The problem of defining animations using straight ahead actions is addressed by performance animation systems, where an actor s performance is captured in real time by means of dedicated devices ....
....real time visual feedback. While the entire process is kept very creative and spontaneous, the incredibly large amount of data associated with a live performance makes it impossible to efficiently edit the captured animation. This is the major problem faced by current performance animation systems [42]. In order to edit real time captured performances, we need to obtain a more compact representation of the captured data. In particular, building a spline representation would have the advantage of providing a mean to seamlessly integrate real time capture capabilities with keyframing systems. We ....

....interaction. That work concentrates on modeling complex behaviors in a discrete simulation framework, while we focus on providing intuitive user interfaces. A major limitation of current performance animation systems is the inability to build editable representations out of captured performances [35]. 3.4 Data Reduction Data reduction or curve fitting techniques have been successfully applied for the interactive specification of 2D or 3D curves or surfaces (e.g. 12; 24; 25; 29] These techniques cannot be easily adapted to sketching animations of multi dimensional parameters because they ....
