Abstract
A locomotion generation method for a digital creature includes: imaging and capturing movements of a creature placed on a base plate having a printed pattern; extracting body position information, body posture information, leg posture information, and footprint information of the creature by analyzing captured images; and generating creature movement by applying inverse kinematics to the body position information, the body posture information, the leg posture information, and the footprint information of the creature. The movements of the creature are imaged and captured by using two or more cameras without camera calibration
