Abstract :
We investigate the effectiveness of combining spatial segmentation and temporal blending to improve compression ratio and rendered quality on motion capture data of rhythmic nature. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of our method. We also observe that visual quality can be further improved by adopting an automatic weight propagation strategy.
