This paper proposes a novel method, calledmodel

transduction, to directly transfer pose between differentmeshes,

without the need of building the skeleton configurations

for meshes. Different from previous retargetting methods,

such as deformation transfer, model transduction does not

require a reference source mesh to obtain source deformation,

thus effectively avoids unsatisfying results when the

source and target have different reference poses.Model transduction

is based on two components: model deformation and

model correspondence. Specifically, based on mean-value

manifold operator, our mesh deformation method produces

visually pleasing deformation results under large angle rotations

or big-scale translations of handles. We also propose a

novel scheme for shape preserving correspondence between

manifold meshes. Then, with the above two components, we

present the model transduction technique to directly transfer

pose between different mesh models. Moreover, we show

that the transduction method also can be used for pose correction

after various mesh editing operations. Our method

fits nicely in a unified framework, where the similar type

of operator is applied in all phases. The resulting quadratic

formulation can be efficiently minimized by fast solving the

sparse linear system. Experimental results show that model

transduction can successfully transfer both complex skeletal

structures and subtle skin deformations.
