Articulated Elastic Model Acquired from Observation of Physical Behavior


Jochen Lang, Dinesh K. Pai and Hans-Peter Seidel.

Scanning the deformation behavior of real objects is a useful technique to acquire physically realistic behavior. Previously, we have developed an original method to acquire physically realistic object behavior for small deformation. These small deformation models render at interactive rates. Recently, we have developed a method to extend previous work to handle large scale deformation. We model large scale deformation as articulation in combination with local linear deformation. The articulation may either reflect a underlying physical structure or may be purely a modeling technique. Our acquisition method is applicable to deformable modeling but it also has implications for motion capture.
