Abstract:
An apparatus for generating motion data, comprising:a storage unit for storing two time-series motion data to be connected, and a motion connecting unit, which, according to a connection time distribution rate &ggr;, (a) estimates motion data as much as &ggr;Ã—(a connection time) from the last time of the front time-series motion data to generate estimated backward-extended motion data, (b) estimates motion data in the past direction as much as (1âˆ’&ggr;)Ã—(the connection time) from the initial time of the back time-series motion data, in terms of time, to generate estimated forward-extended motion data, (c) generates a first half of connecting motion data based on the front time-series motion data from the last time to (1âˆ’&ggr;)Ã—(the connection time) before and the estimated forward-extended motion data, and (d) generates a second half of connecting motion data based on the back time-series motion data from the initial time to &ggr;Ã—(the connection time) after and the estimated backward-extended motion data.
