A Survey on Deep Learning for Skeleton-Based Human Animation

Understand

Human character animation is often critical in entertainment content production, including video games, virtual reality or fiction films.

• To this end, deep neural networks drive most recent advances through deep learning and deep reinforcement learning.
• In this article, we propose a comprehensive survey on the state-of-the-art approaches based on either deep learning or deep reinforcement learning in skeleton-based human character animation.
• First, we introduce motion data representations, most common human motion datasets and how basic deep models can be enhanced to foster learning of spatial and temporal patterns in motion data.
