Abstract: Currently, many important intangible cultural properties of the world are being lost because of the lack of successive performers. Digital archiving technology is one of the effective solutions for this issue, and we have started our digital archiving project of cultural properties including these intangible ones. For these human motion archives, the method of automatic motion structure analysis is vital for a variety of purposes. We believe that the dance motion consists of "primitive motions" and that motion analysis is necessary to detect these components. Particularly for dance motions, we think these primitives must be synchronized to the musical rhythm. In this work, we introduce musical information for motion structure analysis. This method automatically detects the musical rhythm and segmments the original motion, an classifies them as to the primitive motions. The experimental results confirm that our motion analysis yielded the primitive motions in accordance to the musical rhythm.

Supervised pattern classification based on optimum-path forest
TL;DR: A general algorithm to learn from errors on an evaluation set without increasing the training set is proposed, and the advantages of the method with respect to SVM, ANN-MLP, and k-NN classifiers are shown in several experiments with datasets of various types.
Dancing-to-Music Character Animation
TL;DR: A new approach for synthesizing dance performance matched to input music, based on the emotional aspects of dance performance, which creates dance performance as if a character was listening and expressively dancing to the music.

TL;DR: A mathematical model is formulated which is shown to predict both the qualitative features and the quantitative details observed experimentally in planar, multijoint arm movements, and is successful only when formulated in terms of the motion of the hand in extracorporal space.
