Interactive System for Creating Attractive Poses Using Pose Features and Statistical Models

Creating attractive poses is crucial in generating works of art. However, designing these poses is challenging because of a lack of clear definitions or rules for attractive poses. Thus the artist must design through experience and trial and error. In this study, we propose a system for creating new attractive poses based on a set of sample poses for a class of attractive poses. Pose features for some parts of the body, rather than the entire body, make the pose attractive. By combining such multiple sample pose features, the proposed method creates a novel attractive pose that is dissimilar to any of the sample poses. Using our system, a new attractive pose is created by interactively deforming based on the pose features of the sample poses. Our system constructs 2D latent spaces that map the sample poses for each pose feature for the user to find the pose feature to apply to the editing pose.
