TY - JOUR TI - DeepPhase: Periodic Autoencoders for Learning Motion Phase Manifolds AU - Starke, S. AU - Mason, I. AU - Komura, T. PY - 2022 DA - 2022/07// JO - ACM Transactions on Graphics (SIGGRAPH 2022) AB - Starke, Mason, and Komura (2022) introduce a periodic autoencoder that discovers the phase structure of motion data automatically, learning a continuous manifold that supports smooth transitions between locomotion states without requiring manually annotated phase signals. The method received the SIGGRAPH 2022 Best Paper award and is animation-native, having been designed and evaluated entirely within the character animation domain. It is the current reference for neural phase-based character control and has demonstrably shaped the direction of interactive character locomotion research.
