A full-body gesture recognition system and its integration in the composition „3rd-Pole“

Miha Ciglar

The goal of this project work was to implement an Algorithm for the continuous recognition of short choreographic sequences. The coordinates of different body parts were extracted and tracked by the Vicon System. This data was processed and recorded in PD (Pure Data), where also the recognition algorithm was implemented, which compared a live input stream against an existing recording. It was tried to make the system unsusceptible to variations of intensity and temporal evolution of a gesture. Intensity would refer to the spatial extent in the execution of a predefined gesture, whereas an unrestricted temporal evolution enables a free, interpretation of gesture progression in time.
