Mixture Models for the Analysis, Edition, and Synthesis of Continuous Time Series
share
This chapter presents an overview of techniques used for the analysis, edition, and synthesis of time series, with a particular emphasis on motion data. The use of mixture models allows the decomposition of time signals as a superposition of basis functions. It provides a compact representation that aims at keeping the essential characteristics of the signals. Various types of basis functions have been proposed, with developments originating from different fields of research, including computer graphics, human motion science, robotics, control, and neuroscience. Examples of applications with radial, Bernstein and Fourier basis functions will be presented, with associated source codes to get familiar with these techniques.
