Title:
- Dance motion analysis and editing using hilbert-huang transform
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Abstract:
Human motions (especially, dance motions) are very noisy and it is difficult to analyze the motions. To resolve this problem, we propose a new method to decompose and edit the motions using the Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT). The HHT decomposes a chromatic signal into “monochromatic” signals that are the so-called Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) using an Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD)[Huang 2014]. The HHT has the advantage to analyze non-stationary and nonlinear signals like human joint motions over the FFT or Wavelet transform. In the present research, we propose a new framework to analyze a famous Japanese threesome pop singer group “Perfume”. Then using the NA-MEMD, we decompose dance motions into motion (choreographic) primitives or IMFs, which can be scaled, combined, subtracted, exchanged, and modified self-consistently.
