Many efforts have been directed at animating human characters
as well as other animal characters in applications such as interactive
computer games. However, more research is still needed for realistic
animation of animal characters due to the vast variety of animal
species and different application purposes. In some of the environments
for which security personnel are being trained, animals, such
as dogs, are part of the training programs. So we need to include
realistic behavior and visual representations of animal characters in
our training applications.
