| + | |
| − | Two primary specifications govern this work: the X3D and the H-Anim International Standards. The H-Anim standard describes functional information in full detail, while the X3D specification simply references this work and maps constructs into X3D nomenclature. Working group members: only refer to the official version as we confirm current capabilities and rejuvenate future work.

| − | * We estimate there are upwards of 1,000 H-Anim Use Cases to fully characterize the human experience from the time all the bones of a human are formed or developed through
| + | |
| − | final disposition of the human body (mummification, cremation, burial, etc.). The vocabulary for human behavior (including misbehaving in all cultures, societies, etc.) serves as our baseline.
| + | |
| − | Ontologies, taxonomies, classifications, encyclopedia and handbooks for human behavior are starting points for deriving the skeletal and skin motions for each concept, term and
| + | |
| − | are categorized by:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 1. duration of animation (measured in seconds: 3 - 30,000)
| + | |
| − | 2. total joint angle displacement (displacement spectrum-percent of total possible displacement per joint)
| + | |
| − | 3. angular rate of displaced joints (displacement speed spectrum - percent of maximum displacement)
| + | |
| − | 4. simultaneity of joint displacement (percent of total joints in motion)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Moreover, this Working Group shall bin Use Cases in to those the WG are 1) likely to prototype 2) not likely to prototype and 3) will not prototype.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The complexity and duration of H-Anim scenes will correlate with the (actions) terms, (motions) concepts and (movements) behaviors of humans in natural and man-made environments with and without constraints of hand-held objects, clothing, etc.

| − | | + | |
| − | Human joint articulation of any type (there are six: ball & socket, elbow, gliding, hinge, hip, and saddle joints) can be expressed using Euler angles or quaternions. The word quaternion is modified based on how it is used--rotation, orientation or attitude modifiers are germane but there are others for different use cases. There are multiple approaches to convert Euler angles into quaternions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamilton_product#Hamilton_product, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternions_and_spatial_rotation).

| − | Proposed investigation procedure: divide and conquer! Let's take each skeleton apart and put them back together again.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ----
| + | |
| − | ===1. Is there an X3D H-Anim skeleton that corresponds to the BVH ROOT/JOINT HIERARCHY? ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The structures used by BVH and H-Anim are different. There is not a direct correspondence between them. Differences include:
| + | |
| − | * The hierarchical nesting of parent-child relationships is different | + | |
| − | * Values are therefore in different coordinate frames (one might be relative to parent joint, the other absolute coordinates for the human)
| + | |
| − | * Formats are quite different
| + | |
| − | * (others will be listed here)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ----
| + | |
| − | === 2. However many similarities also exist. Maybe they can be exploited? ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Perhaps we can build a mapping between the two. If we perform rotation transformations, a conversion algorithm can be computed for each hierarchy and corresponding units.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Here is a possible set of correspondences between a BVH model and an X3D H-Anim LOA-1 model.
| + | |
| − | | + | |

| + | |
| − | === 3. Once we have the skeleton mapping, we can work on the animation values. ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Let's look at the BVH file next. Hypothesis:
| + | |
| − | * BVH MOTION arrays providing Zrotation Xrotation Yrotation values
| + | |
| − | to

| − | Each line of the MOTION data has 19 triples. Therefore we do have a good match.

| − | | + | |
| − | ----
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === 4. Units ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Length
| + | |
| − | * BVH position units: author-defined, arbitrary - no fixed units, apparently (TODO confirm)
| + | |
| − | * X3D position units: 3-tuple x-y-z meters relative to point between feet on floor
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Some scaling may be needed to get from BVH to X3D, either by a Transform scale or by a UNIT statement.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Angle
| + | |
| − | * BVH orientation units: (Zrotation Xrotation Yrotation) Euler angles in degrees. Note that order may vary. (TODO confirm)
| + | |
| − | * X3D rotation units: SFRotation 4-tuple (normalized x-y-z axis vector, angle in radians)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Given these definitions, we will need to convert the BVH orientation to X3D rotation.
| + | |
| − | Ordinarily in 3D graphics this is performed using a 3x3 or 4x4 transformation matrix.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ----
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === 5. Converting BVH Motion Arrays to X3D Interpolators ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The goal is to determine an algorithm to take BVH MOTION arrays to create PositionInterpolator and OrientationInterpolator
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | BVH excerpt:
| + | |
| − | MOTION
| + | |
| − | Frames: 482
| + | |
| − | Frame Time: 0.016667
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Note that these units are seconds. Frame time matches 60 frames per second.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The first entry in the time array is a time zero. Therefore there are (482 - 1) = 481 intervals.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If so, total duration = (# intervals)(frame time) = (481 * 0.016667) = (481 / 60) = 8.01667 seconds.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * First Approach
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The arrays can then be driven by a TimeSensor and key values at appropriate frame-time increments.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | a. X3D TimeSensor duration is expressed by a value like
| + | |
| − | cycleTime="8.01667"
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | b. In X3D, an interpolator key is typically a fraction from 0 to 1.0.
| + | |
| − | - take total time interval of BVH file, example 8.01667 seconds
| + | |
| − | - divide by number of intervals, for example 481
| + | |
| − | - resulting key array would have fractions incrementing by (8.01667 / 481) = 0.016667 (looks familiar)
| + | |
| − | - add increments, result is
| + | |
| − | key=0 0.016667 0.03333 0.05 0.066667 ...etc... 1.0"
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | c. X3D Interpolator keyValue array will have same length as rotation array
| + | |
| − | - must convert each triple of Euler angles to a corresponding SFRotation (see preceding section 4)
| + | |
| − | - result will be something like
| + | |
| − | keyValue="0 1 0 0.0, 0 1 0 0.111, 0 1 0 0.123 ...etc..." etc.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | d. TimeSensor fraction_changed output is ROUTEd to OrientationInterpolator set_fraction. Result:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <TimeSensor DEF="AnimationClock" cycleTime="8.01667" />
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | <OrientationInterpolator DEF="X3dMotionArray"
| + | |
| − | key=0 0.016667 0.03333 0.05 0.066667 ...etc... 1.0"
| + | |
| − | keyValue="0 1 0 0.0, 0 1 0 0.111, 0 1 0 0.123 ...etc..." />
| + | |
| − |
| + | |
| − | <ROUTE fromNode="AnimationClock" fromField="fraction_changed"
| + | |
| − | toNode="X3dMotionArray" fromField="set_fraction" />
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Second Approach
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Myeong Won Lee, can you document a different approach by email?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ----
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | === 6. How to convert? ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | With a little more work, we can then combine the pieces to show corresponding animations in HAnim and BVH.
| + | |
| − | We can build an application program that uses these mappings.
| + | |
| − | * This conversion program operates off-line, not within an X3D scene, because X3D does not allow reading files.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Wikipedia articles of interest:

| + | |
| − | * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_formalisms_in_three_dimensions Rotation formalisms in three dimensions]
| + | |
| − | ** 1.2 Euler axis and angle (rotation vector) matches the X3D SFRotation
| + | |
| − | ** 2.2 Rotation matrix ↔ Euler axis/angle
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | It looks like choosing the right matrix operations will perform this conversion. This requires careful composition of rotation matrix operations.
