==CONVERSION OF SENSOR-BASED PEDESTRIAN MOTION INTO THREE-DIMENSIONAL (3D) ANIMATION DATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18059039 titled 'CONVERSION OF SENSOR-BASED PEDESTRIAN MOTION INTO THREE-DIMENSIONAL (3D) ANIMATION DATA

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a system and method for generating 3D animation from real-world road data, including a sequence of images of a driving environment with a moving character. The system processes the data to generate skeletal data representing the character's movements over time, outputting a motion library.

* The system includes one or more processing units and computer-readable media storing instructions.
* The operations performed by the system include obtaining real-world road data with images of a driving environment and a moving character, generating skeletal data representing the character's movements, and outputting a motion library.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in various industries such as:
* Entertainment industry for creating realistic 3D animations for movies, TV shows, and video games.
* Automotive industry for simulating driving scenarios and testing autonomous vehicles.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology solves the following problems:
* Generating realistic 3D animations from real-world data.
* Simulating human movements accurately in a virtual environment.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include:
* Improved realism in 3D animations.
* Efficient generation of motion libraries for characters in virtual environments.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
The potential commercial applications of this technology include:
* Animation studios for creating lifelike characters in movies and video games.
* Virtual reality companies for developing immersive experiences with realistic human movements.

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art for this technology could be motion capture systems used in the entertainment industry to capture and replicate human movements in 3D animations.

== Unanswered Questions ==
=== How does the system handle complex movements of the character in the real-world driving environment? ===
The abstract does not provide details on how the system processes and represents complex movements of the character in the generated skeletal data.

=== What is the accuracy of the generated motion library compared to the real-world data? ===
The abstract does not mention any metrics or evaluations of the accuracy of the generated motion library in representing the movements of the character in the real-world driving environment.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Systems and methods for generating three-dimensional (3D) animation from real-world road data are provided. For instance, a computer-implemented system comprising one or more processing units; and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions, when executed by the one or more processing units, cause the one or more processing units to perform operations comprising obtaining real-world road data including a sequence of images of a real-world driving environment across a time period, the sequence of images including at least one moving character in the real-world driving environment; generating a sequence of skeletal data representing the moving character and corresponding movements across the time period by processing the real-world road data; and outputting a motion library including the sequence of skeletal data.
