In this paper we study a probabilistic approach to characterize Interpersonal Behaviours (IBs) in a social concept by exploring the existent interrelation between body motion features. Human activities were explored in different level of complexities, such as social-based human activity. To bridge the existent big gap between human body motions and the IBs analysis, a set of proper dependencies...

This article analyzes the creative process of a ballroom dance duet piece titled Glowing Ocean using perspective Laban/Bartenieff Movement System (LBMS). The examines background and clarifies intention work. Furthermore, it attempts to express musical emotional atmosphere translate this into an aesthetic image. While describing what cannot be expressed with words in dance, how conveys meaning t...

This paper presents an algorithm for synthesis of human motion in specified styles. We use a theory of movement observation (Laban Movement Analysis) to describe movement styles as points in a multi-dimensional perceptual space. We cast the task of learning to synthesize desired movement styles as a regression problem: sequences generated via space-time interpolation of motion capture data are ...

Pulse field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was utilised to compare the genomes of 16 Streptococcus thermophilus cultures from yoghurt, cheese, laban and dahi after digestion with the restriction endonucleases, SfiI, SmaI and BssHII. PFGE profiles could be used for strain identification and were also useful in predicting relatedness of certain strains. Genetic variations between specific morphotypes...

This study examined the relationship between human body movements and emotion based on Laban Movement Analysis (LMA). Ten participants participated in the experiment in which they stayed at a small resting room while hearing pleasant or unpleasant sounds. After the stay at the room, the participants rated their subjective emotional states. Participants’ body movement were also recorded with fou...

A framework and methodology to realize robot-to-human behavioral expression is proposed. Human-robot symbiosis requires to enhance nonverbal communication between humans and robots. The proposed methodology is based on movement analysis theories of dance psychology researchers, namely Laban, Lamb and Kestenberg. Two experiments on robot-to-human behavioral expression are also presented to suppo...

Many applications that utilize motion capture data require small, discrete, semantic segments of data, but most motion capture collection processes produce long sequences of data. The smaller segments are often created from the longer sequences manually. This segmentation process is very laborious and time consuming. This paper presents an automatic motion capture segmentation method based on m...
