Motion Interpolation Using Adjectives

In this paper, we propose a motion interpolation method using parameters based on adjectives. We conducted a questionnaire experiment in which subjects were asked to evaluate 10 example walking motions using 41 pairs of adjectives. Based on the results, we selected 27 pairs of adjectives that are effective for motion parameterization and determined four primary parameters by categorizing the adjectives. Our motion interpolation method allows the user to create various styles of motions using the four primary parameters and any combination of the additional 27 adjective pairs. We present the results of our experiments and demonstrate the advantages of our method.
