碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 多媒體工程研究所 === 95 === Using motion capture data to create novel and realistic motions is an attractive topic in motion synthesis. In this thesis, we propose a simple and intuitive editing tool to assemble the different parts of character motion to create novel and natural-looking motion. Herewith the variety of the database is enriched. In our system, users can assign the partial figure of a query motion which they want to synthesize. Our system then retrieves partial figures from large data sets similar to the assigned ones. Finally, we assemble the different parts of character motion. However, simply assembling partial figures may cause unrealistic or strange motions. To solve this problem and also keep the query motion style, we use the statistic properties between the query motion and pre-assembly motion. When assembling the retrieval partial figures and adjusting the variance according to the query motion, our system can retain the style and naturalness of the synthesized motion.
