Motion Graph for Crowd Tao Yu
Problem Description • Given a set of characters and a set of constraints. • The constraints could be: • Character pose. • Position (p) and Orientation (θ). • Time interval [ta, tb] in which the configuratoin should be obtained (possibly ta=tb).
Problem Description Goal: Synthesize motion which: • Realistic • Satisfying all constraints • Collision free (already solved by navigation algorithm?)
Motion Graph • Each node contains a specific pose. • Each edge corresponds to a motion clip. • Any sequence of connected edges yields a seamless motion
Motion Graph • Traditional MG based methods are limited in that: • The constraints on continuous properties (position, orientation and duration) are hard to exactly satisfy. • Search is expensive.
Solution (M.Sung, L.Kovar & M. Gleicher) The basic idea is: • Search in Motion Graph for motions satisfying constraints approximately • Refine rough motions thru a randomized search algorithm so that it exactly conforms to constraints
Process Overview • Construct Motion Graph [GSKJ03, Snap-together motion] • Sequential processing for each character • Using PRM as path planner to create constraints sequence (way point sequence) • Search for seed motions that satisfying constraints roughly • Adjusting and merging seed motions

Comments • This method combines path planning, collision avoidance and motion synthesis together. • Suitable for high-level behavior planner. • Not directly applicable to our existing navigation/path planning methods for crowd.
Potential adaptation • Dense constraints • Motion prediction (Search motion in advance) • To be added…
