A Pose and Shape-Aware Cross-Skeleton Motion Retargeting Framework.

Motion retargeting technology plays a vital role in fields such as computer animation, virtual reality, and gaming industries. Users can save a lot of costs in art design and animation production. However, the current motion retargeting methods still has many strict requirements. For example, some methods require the source and target skeletons need to have the same number of joints or share the same topology. In addition, we find many methods currently use the Mixamo dataset as the training set and test set, and use joint position errors optimize retargeting results, but ignore the source-target differences at the shape geometry level. This may result in interpenetration or loss of contact. Therefore, we introduce a novel framework and use evaluation metrics such as position error related to skeleton and interpenetration ratio related to shape, which makes the retargeting result more realistic.
