Real-time comparision of movement of Bulgarian folk dances

Summary/Abstract: The most challenging part of creating the Virtual Reality System for Motion Capture Analysis and Visualization for Folk Dance Training is the process of correct comparison of the movements and subsequent assessment. The purposed method uses combined analysis of several body tracking features for movement comparison. The reference dance movements are recorded with two Kinetic sensors, so that they are clean and precise. But the user of the training system, will most likely use one Kinetic sensor, so complex movements like fine spring movements, leg-crossings, body spins, and quick, sharp movements, are difficult to compare correctly because they could not be tracked successfully. The article proposes methods including approximation of movements and an assumption of their proper execution so that the learning process can be carried out.
