Assigned Paper (note: the version on the author’s web page is a damaged PDF). A working version is here.
1. Sentence: In this paper we present a novel approach to apply bidirectional search for motion synthesis using motion graphs. (1st sentence, 2nd paragraph).
2. Problem: Searching a motion graph to synthesize a motion is too slow. Use fast searches to create a sketching interface.
3. Key Idea: Use bi-directional A* search by using a hashing method to merge the trees.
4.a What the paper does: Provides really fast motion graph searches: shown for a character walking along a path, jumping, picking up objects. Allows the user to sketch rough paths, both for locomotion, but with basic actions inferred along paths.
4.b. What it could be used for: quickly sketching motions and getting a realistic motion in response. Could be an interface to control a character.
5. Resources: Video on paper’s web page, power point file for presentation
