ABSTRACT
This work addresses the Huawei/3DLife Grand Challenge, presenting a novel method for the analysis of dance movements. The approach focuses on the decomposition of the dance movements into elementary motions. Placing this problem into a probabilistic framework, we propose to exploit Gaussian processes to accurately model the different components of the decomposition. The preliminary results, presented in this paper, are very promising. In particular, two applications are considered, illustrating the relevance of the proposed approach, namely the correction of tracking errors and the smoothing of some movements of the teacher to help toward the dance learning.

An audio-driven virtual dance-teaching assistant
MM '11: Proceedings of the 19th ACM international conference on MultimediaThis work addresses the Huawei/3Dlife Grand challenge proposing a set of audio tools for a virtual dance-teaching assistant. These tools are meant to help the dance student develop a sense of rhythm to correctly synchronize his/her movements and steps ...
Automated choreography synthesis using a Gaussian process leveraging consumer-generated dance motions
ACE '14: Proceedings of the 11th Conference on Advances in Computer Entertainment TechnologyWe propose a novel method of automatically generating dance choreography using machine learning. In a typical approach to automatic choreography, a dance is constructed by concatenating segments of existing dances which are maximally correlated to the ...
Eye gaze tracking with free head movements using a single camera
SoICT '10: Proceedings of the 1st Symposium on Information and Communication TechnologyThe problem of eye gaze tracking has been researched and developed for a long time. The most difficult problem in the non-intrusive system of eye gaze tracking is the problem of head movements. Some of existing methods have to use two cameras and an ...
