Paper Abstract:	This paper explores the technique that employs Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for motion synthesis and incomplete motion data reconstruction. A low dimensional space of human motion patterns are generated from a large amount motion capture data using PCA. The generated motion pattern is then applied to synthesize different scaled human character animations with a different speed by interpolation and extrapolation from existing motion patterns. According to animators' desire, we also construct incomplete motion data for a long and continuous motion sequences. This technique provides flexibility for animators to efficiently re-use existing motion capture data for character animation.
