The final goal of this research is to extract characteristic poses as well as highlight parts from data of dancing movement obtained by motion capturing technique. For this, the theory of Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) has been applied, and the physical feature values corresponding to the LMA components are defined. By observing the change over time of these feature values, body movements corresponding to the LMA components are extracted. In this paper we will mainly focus on Effort and Shape components of LMA. Results have been compared with those which have been extracted by a LMA specialist.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
