I'd think you'd want to compare not just the static configuration of the pose but also the point/joint velocities. Your ideal choice will be one where not only the pose matches well, but the body parts are also moving at similar directions and speeds to the ragdoll's current state.

For point cloud-based pose similarity estimation, Kovar's original motion graph paper is probably a good reference. http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~kovar/mographs.pdf Ben On Thu, Dec 13, 2012 at 9:12 PM, Michael De Ruyter <mic...@gm...<mailto:mic...@gm...>> wrote: Also with the triangle normal idea, a notion of distance is missing, so you should add something like distance hips - hand, hips - foot, foot - foot, etc to your comparison algorithm if u were to try this method. Though since there is already a paper on the point cloud approach, it's probably safer to start with it.
