Abstract

In recent years, computer animation has been a highly active research topic and is widely applied in various fields such as movie special effects, advertisements, cartoon, computer games and computer simulation, etc. From a traditional perspective of view, researchers categorize computer animation techniques into the field of computer graphics; however, with the fast development of computer animation techniques and enrichment of animation producing facilities, computer animation is no longer restricted to traditional computer graphics category but rather refers to many research areas, such as image processing, digital signal processing, machine vision and artificial intelligence, etc., to become an interdisciplinary subject.
