Inferring the Hand Configuration from Hand Clapping Sounds
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a technique for inferring the configuration of a clapper’s hands from a hand clapping sound is described. The method was developed based on analysis of synthetic and recorded hand clap sounds, labeled with the corresponding hand configurations. A naïve Bayes classifier was constructed to automatically classify the data using two different feature sets. The results indicate that the approach is applicable for inferring the hand configuration.

Recognition of Hand Clapping Sounds - The Significance of Timbre in Steve
Although hand clapping is a ubiquitous activity all over the world, and employed in a wide variety of activities, it remains an understudied topic in the field of pattern recognition. In both traditional and modern music, hand clapping is used predominantly as a percussion instrument. This paper describes preliminary results of an ongoing research project to determine how to measure the similar...
متن کاملSonic Handprints: Person Identification with Hand Clapping Sounds by a Model-Based Method
Sound-based person identification has largely focused on speaker recognition. However, also non-speech sounds may convey personal information, as suggested by our previous studies on hand clap recognition. We propose the use of a probabilistic model-based technique for person identification based on their hand clapping sounds. The method is based on a Hidden Markov Model which uses spectral tem...
متن کاملThe sound of two hands clapping: an exploratory study.
Clapping is a little-studied human activity that may be viewed either as a form of communicative group behavior (applause) or as an individual sound-generating activity involving two "articulators"--the hands. The latter aspect was explored in this pilot study by means of acoustical analyses and perceptual experiments. Principal components analysis of 20 subjects' average clap spectra yielded s...

متن کاملThe sound of one-hand clapping: handedness and perisylvian neural correlates of a communicative gesture in chimpanzees.
Whether lateralization of communicative signalling in non-human primates might constitute prerequisites of hemispheric specialization for language is unclear. In the present study, we examined (i) hand preference for a communicative gesture (clapping in 94 captive chimpanzees from two research facilities) and (ii) the in vivo magnetic resonance imaging brain scans of 40 of these individuals. Th...
