Taku Komura and group win best paper award
SIGGRAPH 2022
Congratulations to Taku Komura who, alongside Sebastian Starke and Ian Mason, has received a best paper award at SIGGRAPH 2022.
Known for it's high standards, SIGGRAPH is a premier conference and exhibition on computer graphics and interactive techniques which will take place in Vancouver during 8-11 August.
Title: DeepPhase: Periodic Autoencoders for Learning Motion Phase Manifolds
Abstract: We present the Periodic Autoencoder that can learn the spatial-temporal structure of body movements from unstructured motion data. The network produces a multi-dimensional phase manifold that helps enhance neural character controllers and motion matching for a variety of tasks, including diverse locomotion, style-based movements, dancing to music, or football dribbling.
