Abstract
It is a difficult task to estimate the human transition motion without the specialized software. The 3-dimensional (3D) human motion animation is widely used in video game, movie, and so on. When making the animation, human transition motion is necessary. If there is a method that can generate the transition motion, the making time will cost less and the working efficiency will be improved. Thus a new method called latent space optimization based on projection analysis (LSOPA) is proposed to estimate the human transition motion. LSOPA is carried out under the assistance of Gaussian process dynamical models (GPDM); it builds the object function to optimize the data in the low dimensional (LD) space, and the optimized data in LD space will be obtained to generate the human transition motion. The LSOPA can make the GPDM learn the high dimensional (HD) data to estimate the needed transition motion. The excellent performance of LSOPA will be tested by the experiments.

Summary
3-dimensional (3D) human motion animation is applied in many fields, such as video game and movie. If there is a method that can estimate the valid human transition motion, the animation making time will cost less, and the work will get easier. LD data will be optimized by LSOPA, so that the valid human transition motion can be generated to achieve the estimation. GPDM is an unsupervised learning model; it can learn the high dimensional data (HD) sample and estimate the new one, but it needs to process the LD data in the LD space. The LSOPA can do this work to process the LD data better and ensure the valid transition motion can be generated. The transition motion consists of many poses, and the poses are all the HD data samples of 3D human model, how to estimate the valid transition motion is a challenged task.
