Motion‑capture systems can record high‑accuracy human body motion for intangible cultural properties such as ballet, but the resulting large data volumes require efficient handling. The study aims to produce a compact, abstracted coded description of motion from motion‑capture data. The authors developed a method that converts motion‑capture data into a coded description based on Labanotation, a widely used dance notation. The resulting Labanotation scores can be used for choreography, dance education, and as an index for stored motion‑capture data.
By using a motion capture system we can measure and record human body motion of intangible cultural properties like ballet dance or other performing arts. Since the measurement accuracy of the system is high, volume of the data is usually very large. Compact and abstracted description of the motion is also required. We developed a method to generate the coded description from motion captured data. The description is based on dance notation, called Labanotation, which is well known among Western dance communities. Labanotation score is produced from the coded description, and it can be readily used in choreography and dance education. This compact coded description of the motion may also be used as an index for motion captured data stored in the database.
