Abstract

A system and method for processing motion data is provided. The position of certain nodes in a motion hierarchy are modified to allow application of motion data to a character having a different physiology than that of the motion capture subject. The present invention provides the ability to modify the angular information of individual motion hierarchy nodes and segments based on translational information associated with the source hierarchy. This provides a continuity of motion in the resulting motion representation that is not available with conventional motion processing methods. The system also includes a specialized language for processing motion data. The language provides the ability to construct a database of motion data in a computer memory, and enables a variety of applications to access the motion data in the database. The system of the invention enables a user to separate the representation of motion from how the data was collected. By storing the pure motion data separately from the geometry data the system is able to share the same data between the various program modules. Structures incorporated in the language enable a user to input a variety of file types into individual or common databases. The language also enables a user to output the motion data in a variety of file formats. The database may be written to an ASCII file, and then recreated from the file by the language interpreter. The specialized language provides the ability to associate a variety of data structures, both within and outside of the data base, with elements of the motion data.
