Cloth Animation Retrieval Using a Motion-Shape Signature

In cloth simulation, the behavior of textiles largely depends on initial conditions, parameters, and simulation techniques. Usually, several combinations of those aspects are altered until a simulation setting is found to create a satisfying animation. However, if an initial condition, such as a collision object, is changed afterward or the cloth behavior is transferred to a different scene, the existing set of simulation parameters could no longer be suitable for the desired look. In this case, it is difficult to find a new configuration by changing parameters manually and to determine if it conforms the desired properties. This article introduces a feature vector that is used as a motion-shape signature to capture the spatiotemporal shape characteristics of cloth and can be applied as a similarity measure for physics-based cloth animations.
