Abstract
This paper presents a method of applying a visual perception model to
a behavioural animation system. The method is mostly inspired by
the theory of ecological realism and enables animated objects or
actors to perceive their environment emotionally
and physically. Each actor may regard the others as being friendly,
frightening, or even edible. Decisions may be made by the actors such as to
approach, to avoid, to grasp, to eat, or to do nothing. This
decision depends not only on environmental factors but also on
motives and drives, such as, intending to go somewhere or feeling
hungry. Another capacity is to detect corners and edges of the
environment so that these actors can move without colliding into
any obstacle. Moreover, this system is capable of animating a
distributed model with various type of actors.
