Web2Animation - Automatic Generation of 3D Animation from the Web Text

In this paper, we introduce an animation production system, which generates a story from the web text in a specific domain and presents it in 3D animation. With our approach, 3D animation is generated in real-time from a web recipe in natural language. As a user starts the animation, only domain related texts are extracted using their associated tags and their semantics are analyzed by a semantic parser. The results of this semantic analysis are mapped to the computer animation commands through the action generation algorithms. To infer the hidden context within the text, we designed and leveraged the recipe ontology. A set of XML schemas has been designed to store different representations for web recipes; from the natural language representation to the animation representation.
