Motion and Synchronization Analysis of Musical Ensembles with the Kinect
نویسندگان
چکیده
Music ensembles have to synchronize their performances with highest precision in order to achieve the desired musical results. For that purpose the musicians do not only rely on their auditory perception but also perceive and interpret the movements and gestures of their ensemble colleges. In this paper we present a method for motion analysis of musical ensembles based on head tracking with a Kinect camera. We discuss first experimental results with a violin duo performance and present ways of analyzing and visualizing the recorded head motion data.

Detection of Alzheimer’s Disease in Elder People Using Gait Analysis and Kinect Camera
Introduction: Gait analysis through using modern technology for detection of Alzheimer's disease has found special attention by researchers over the last decade. In this study, skeletal data recorded with a Kinect camera, were used to analyze gait for the purpose of detecting Alzheimer's disease in elders. Method: In this applied-developmental experimental study, using a Kinect camera, data wer...
متن کاملInteractive Music: Human Motion Initiated Music Generation Using Skeletal Tracking By Kinect
This work experiments with human motion initiated music generation. Here we present a stand-alone system to tag human motions readily into musical notes. We do this by first discovering the human skeleton using depth images acquired by infrared range sensors and then exploiting the resultant skeletal tracking. This realtime skeletal tracking is done using the videogame console Microsoft KinectT...

Mountainous river beds-generally consist of gravel particles that the precise description of such bed is not only important hydraulically, but also it has great environmental significance. The accurate estimation of bed roughness gives us valuable information to make reliable hydraulic models of flow in river with rigorous bed form. This study discuses about the accuracy of the Kinect device in...
متن کاملPerception of musical consonance and dissonance: an outcome of neural synchronization.
While a number of theories have been advanced to account for why musical consonance is related to simple frequency ratios, as yet there is no completely satisfying explanation. Here, we explore the theory of synchronization properties of ensembles of coupled neural oscillators to demonstrate why simple frequency ratios may have achieved a special status and why they are important for auditory p...
