Description-driven generation of 3D humanoids within authoring 744

This paper presents a new trend within the Authoring744 research initiative: the creation of 3D humanoids. Authoring744 proposes the creation of content using descriptions that drive content synthesis. Here we present the first steps towards the generation of 3D humanoids and their future animation within the Authoring744 framework, which proposes to use the MPEG-7 and MPEG-4 standards for, respectively, semantically describing and representing content. One of the main objectives is the creation of more intuitive and easier to use 3D content authoring tools.
