  • Deep Learning of Neuromuscular Control for Biomechanical Human Animation
    Deep Learning of Neuromuscular Control For Biomechanical Human Animation Masaki Nakada? and Demetri Terzopoulos Computer Science Department University of California, Los Angeles Abstract. Increasingly complex physics-based models enhance the real- ism of character animation in computer graphics, but they pose difficult motor control challenges. This is especially the case when controlling a biomechanically simulated virtual human with an anatomically real- istic structure that is actuated in a natural manner by a multitude of contractile muscles. Graphics researchers have pursued machine learn- ing approaches to neuromuscular control, but traditional neural network learning methods suffer limitations when applied to complex biomechan- ical models and their associated high-dimensional training datasets. We demonstrate that \deep learning" is a useful approach to training neu- romuscular controllers for biomechanical character animation. In par- ticular, we propose a deep neural network architecture that can effec- tively and efficiently control (online) a dynamic musculoskeletal model of the human neck-head-face complex after having learned (offline) a high-dimensional map relating head orientation changes to neck muscle activations. To our knowledge, this is the first application of deep learn- ing to biomechanical human animation with a muscle-driven model. 1 Introduction The modeling of graphical characters based on human anatomy is becoming increasingly important in the field of computer animation. Progressive fidelity in biomechanical modeling should, in principle, result in more realistic human animation. Given realistic biomechanical models, however, we must confront a variety of difficult motor control problems due to the complexity of human anatomy. In conjunction with the modeling of skeletal muscle [1,2], existing work in biomechanical human modeling has addressed the hand [3,4,5], torso [6,7,8], face [9,10,11], neck [12], etc.

We introduce tiny- graphics.js, a new software library for implementing educational WebGL projects in the classroom. To mitigate the difficulty of creating graphics-enabled websites and online games, we furthermore introduce the Encyclopedia of Code|a world wide web framework that encourages visitors to learn graphics, build educational graphical demos and articles, host them online, and organize them by topic. We provide our own examples that include custom educational games and tutorial articles, which are already being successfully employed to ease our undergraduate graphics students into the course material. Some of our modules expose students to new graphics techniques, while others are prototypes for new modes of online learning, collaboration, and computing. These include our \Active Textbooks" (educational 3D demos or games embedded in literate-programming-like articles).

  • Snakes: Active Contour Models
    International Journal of Computer Vision, 321-331 (1988) o 1987 KIuwer Academic Publishers, Boston, Manufactured in The Netherlands Snakes: Active Contour Models MICHAEL KASS, ANDREW WITKIN, and DEMETRI TERZOPOULOS Schlumberger Palo Alto Research, 3340 Hillview Ave., Palo Alto, CA 94304 Abstract A snake is an energy-minimizing spline guided by external constraint forces and influenced by image forces that pull it toward features such as lines and edges. Snakes are active contour models: they lock onto nearby edges, localizing them accurately. Scale-space continuation can be used to enlarge the cap- ture region surrounding a feature. Snakes provide a unified account of a number of visual problems, in- cluding detection of edges, lines, and subjective contours; motion tracking; and stereo matching. We have used snakes successfully for interactive interpretation, in which user-imposed constraint forces guide the snake near features of interest. 1 Introduction organizations.
