Automatic conversion of texts into animated footagesIn this presentation, we will describe Carsim, a system that automatically creates animated 3D scenes from written texts. Carsim combines natural language processing and visualization techniques and is for now restricted to car accidents. We will outline the model we used to represent the knowledge contained in the texts, the system architecture, as well as the results we obtained. We will then concentrate on the language processing aspects of text-to-scene conversion. We will review the syntactic and semantic components and how to reuse or adapt them to build converters applicable to other domains such as story telling, instruction manuals, and other kinds of accidents.
