However, most of the previous projects either primarily concentrated on tracking tempo and amplitude indicating gestures, or implemented individual mapping techniques for expressive gestures that varied from research to research. There is a clear need for a uniform process that could be applied toward analysis of… text/html 2019-08-09T18:54:13+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www-archive.idmil.org/projects/movement_analysis_and_synthesis/guitar_fingering Computer Vision Methods for Guitarist Left-Hand Fingering Recognition Project Description: This project is about the development of an automated method to visually detect and recognize fingering gestures of the left hand of a guitarist. The choice of computer vision to perform that task is motivated by the absence of a satisfying method for realtime guitarist fingering detection. The development of this computer vision method follows preliminary manual and automated analyses of video recording… text/html 2016-07-20T10:21:46+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www-archive.idmil.org/projects/movement_analysis_and_synthesis/inverse_kinematics Modelling Performer Movements Using Inverse Kinematics Project Description This project aims at applying movement reconstruction tools from EPFL (Prioritized Inverse Kinematics) to the reconstruction of movements of musicians playing musical instruments, based on the text/html 2016-07-20T10:21:46+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www-archive.idmil.org/projects/movement_analysis_and_synthesis/machine_learning Machine Learning and Movement Analysis Project Description How much information is there in body gesture during musical performance? Current and previous work at the IDMIL includes the creation of databases of MoCap data from performances of various instruments (violin, viola, cello, clarinet, drums) recorded by student and professional musicians. Motion capture is a very useful tool for conducting movement analysis because it provides highly accurate information about movement and allows for … text/html 2016-07-20T10:21:46+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www-archive.idmil.org/projects/movement_analysis_and_synthesis/mocap_data_exchange MoCap Data Exchange Page Data exchange server The MoCap data can be uploaded and downloaded to/from an sftp server.

We are interested in the perception of instrumental performance from the point of view of a musician's gestures, both effective (those performed to generate sounds, such as blowing, bowing, plucking a string, etc.) and accompanist (e.g. torso movements in pianists). text/html 2016-07-20T10:21:46+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www-archive.idmil.org/projects/movement_analysis_and_synthesis/musical_gestures_toolbox Musical Gestures Toolbox Project Description The Musical Gestures Toolbox is a collection of modules and abstractions developed in and for the graphical programming environment Max 5. The toolbox is currently being developed within the Jamoma open platform for interactive art-based research and performance. The toolbox is probably most useful for people that already are experienced Max programmers. People looking for similar functionality should check out some of the standalone applications we… text/html 2019-08-09T18:54:54+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www-archive.idmil.org/projects/movement_analysis_and_synthesis/percussive_gestures Percussive Gesture Analysis and Synthesis Project Description This project focuses on the interaction of autonomous, realistic and musically-gifted virtual agents with sound synthesis systems. Our interest lies both in the analysis and the synthesis of percussive gestures. One the one hand, the analysis focuses on timpani gestures and aims at extracting relevant movement features. On the other hand, the synthesis part involves an inverse-dynamics control chain of a mechanical virtual agent m…
