Short bio

Joelle Tilmanne holds an Electrical Engineering degree from FPMs since June 2006. She did her master thesis in the field of sleep signals analysis, at Lehigh University (USA). She is pursuing a PhD thesis since september 2006, in the field of motion capture data analysis and HMM based motion synthesis.

Examples of synthesized walks:
Stylistic walk sequences synthesized from Hidden Markov Models built using adaptive training from a neutral walk HMM (article under review).


Stylistic HMM synthesis




Continuous control of style for HMM-based synthesis (Cyberworlds 2011)


Continuous control of stylistic HMM synthesis




Expressive walk sequences synthesized from an Hidden Markov Model build using adaptive training. (SIGGRAPH 2011)


Stylistic HMM synthesis




Another approach for stylistic synthesis: expressive walk sequences synthesized from a model build trough PCA and Gaussian modeling. (MIG 2010)


PCA-based walk synthesis
