In this paper, we introduce a new 3D expressive model of gesture descriptors based on the Laban Movement Analysis (LMA). The proposed model is tested and evaluated within an action recognition context. Experimental results, obtained on the Microsoft Research Cambridge-12 dataset, show that the approach yields very high recognition rates (more than 97%).

This paper introduces a research area on music and interaction by discussing issues on the integration of movement and music languages. As concerns movement, a special focus is given to high-level and qualitative analysis of human movement, starting from previous studies on movement from this viewpoint, such as Laban’s Theory of Effort (Laban and Lawrence 1947), and from KANSEI Information Proc...

Motion capture presents an interesting opportunity for the analysis and synthesis of movements in dance. We describe a tool that uses concatenative synthesis of dance movement based on a library of prerecorded basic movements. Dance movements are first broken into discrete, small movements following the guidelines of Laban dance notation. Then these movements can be performed by dancers and rec...

209 Labanotation is widely known symbolic language for recording and describing human movement. Through the use of interactive computer graphics a Laban score can be described to the computer and a simulation of the movement viewed on a CRT in terms of a simple computer graphics model of a human form. The Laban score is entered by means of an acoustical tablet with visual feedback of the score ...
