Automatic Generation of Animated Presentations

Abstract

The problem of automatic generation of animated presentations deals with
generating presentations of dynamic (possibly interactive) 3D environments
according to user's preferences and tasks. Applications exist in many
fields, ranging from computer games to medical imaging. The problem has
been addressed by several works over the past decade, and a variety of
approaches have been used.

The lecture will provide an introduction to the problem, survey
applications, and discuss considerations of the solution. The introduction
will be followed by a outlining and evaluating two approaches:
*	Hierarchical task decomposition (Karp & Feiner)
*	Knowledge-based constraint propagation (Friedman & Feldman)
