Specification of joint values describing the hand posture to grab or manipulate a Smart Object. Human like skeleton. General specification of geometry placeholders for H-Anim and Smart Object skeletons. Level of articulation Feature point of MPEG-4 Abstract class for Smart object attributes which can be divided into two main classes: Hand Posture and Location. The main class of this ontology. A Virtual Human is a full-body or partial representation of a Human being. The model can be synthesized in a variety of ways and can represent a real or a virtual person. VHs are characterized by a set of general attributes (sex, nationality, race), and structural descriptors. A VH can have animation sequences, behavior controllers or smart objects associated to it. Part of a human or object model e.g. a Leg an Arm etc. A place holder to store information associated to a particular location in a 3D geometry. Kinematic | Phisical | Cognitive | Gesture | PathPlanning | Skinning | Perception male or female 1 Algorithms used to produce animations. The class specifies the inputs required for the algorithm to work and the outputs (usually animation sequences or specific joint values) it is capable to produce. 1 1 Cloth patterns that are sewing each other to create a Garment For animations where important key frames are defined and the computer calculates with an interpolator the frames in between. A 3D shape Skeletal structure defined for a geometry that allows to animate the geometry. Describes the morphology of a human like: age, weight, height, gender, etc. Describes a specific part-segment of the body of a Virtual Human. Definition of a virtual cloth that can be suited to a virtual human. Describes a list of human emotion that defines an emotional state. An available means A file that contains animation values applied to the skeletal structure to produce animations. These files are normally prerecorded sequences. Generic class to store 3D vectors (possibly already defined in other ontology clusters). An abstract class to describe a family of graph-like nodes that can constitue diverse structural descriptors such as H-Anim skeletons topological graphs etc. Landmark: A place holder to store information associated to a particular location in a 3D geometry. Joint: Joint node, basic building block for an H-Anim skeleton. A joint can have segments (typically used to store the actual geometry of each limb), or other joints. Under certain cases (not H-Anim 1.0 compliant) a joint could directly store a geometry. Segment: General specification of geometry placeholders for H-Anim and Smart Object skeletons. Define the actual position of a virtual human, like: stand up, seat, T posture, etc. This class group the models of emotion used for animating virtual humans. A class describing Virtual Humans that can be animated. This is not meant to be used for creating instances directly. Instead it is used for inferring which VH instances are also instances of this class (by checking the Necessary and Sufficient restrictions in the class description). This class is not meant to be instantiated. Sub classes should define a limited list of instances which are valid and additional instances should not be created. Type of image used as texture of geometry, like JPEG, GIF, PNG, etc. Animation created from recorded movements of a real person using a motion capture system Human like traits that can be represented for virtual characters like personality, emotions, mood, etc. We define the Five factor model for atributes of personality. Many virtual reality applications require virtual humans that are capable of manipulating objects in their environment. To implement this usually requires that the environment should be extended with some form of knowledge on how interactions between virtual humans and objects are to be carried out. A Smart Object is constituted by a hierarchical collection of nodes. The hierarchical organization specifies the relations between different Geometry and Attribute Sets composing an object. Joint node, basic building block for an H-Anim skeleton. A joint can have segments (typically used to store the actual geometry of each limb), or other joints. Under certain cases (not H-Anim 1.0 compliant) a joint could directly store a geometry. Has all articulations corresponfing to all body parts Any kind of skeletal structure used to animate or attribute objects. Specifies the locations on a Smart Object where a hand posture or any other given functionality has been defined.
