Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program for capturing the motion of a first moving object in a cartoon and retargeting this motion onto the motion of a second moving object. In the invention a digitized video of a cartoon having the first moving object is input and a user is permitted to select from the digitized video a plurality of key shapes of the first moving object as the first moving moves in the digitized video. The motion of the first moving object is captured as motion parameter data by performing a transform of the motion of the first moving object according to each of the key shapes. Thereafter, the motion of the first moving object is retargeted to the second moving object by mapping the motion parameter data onto the second moving object.
