Abstract
This paper addresses a problem of creating character animations from motion capture clips. The main problem we want to solve is partition set of primitive motions into appropriate groups according to similarity between motions. We construct motion models to easier extract features of given motions and make animation process more flexible. Using these models we propose measure of discrepancy between motions. Moreover it normalizes length of motions and decreases high dimension of considered motion data, so clustering may take place in dimensionally reduced space. In addition we examine different motion representations for the sake of the best clustering results.
