Indexing Large Human-Motion Databases

Summary: Indexes large motion-capture databases with bounding envelopes to enable fast similarity search under uniform time scaling. Unlike DTW-based or Euclidean approaches, it handles global (uniform) scaling and delivers orders-of-magnitude speedups over brute force on real motion data.
