Analysis of Motion Capture Data from Latin Dance
Motivation
Models of how people move when dancing has many applications: Training
dancers, simulating dancers for video games or movies, or systematic
study and comparative analysis of different dances. In this project, we
want to look into 3D motion capture data (MOCAP) recorded of two dancer
to investigate representations and models of dancing.
The exact scope is up for discussion and can be adjusted according to
interest.
Specific tasks
Implement and compare state-of-the-art algorithms for tracking dancers
in MOCAP data and learning representations and models of the dance
motions.
Necessary skills
Programming for scientific computing (e.g. loading, saving, plotting
numeric data and large scale data) and reading of scientific documents.
Benefits
You will learn how to work with 3D MOCAP data and how to represent,
model, and analyze such data.
