System for inputting human-body motion by reading Labanotation score.

本研究的目标是开发一个基于Labanotation舞蹈乐谱的人体动作输入、编辑和显示系统。在研究的第一年，我们开发了一个基于Labanotation的交互式人体运动输入和显示系统。在第二学年，也就是最后一年，我们致力于开发一种阅读印刷Labanotation分数的模式识别系统，并改进人体运动模拟系统的显示质量。通过使用该系统，我们可以对各种类型的人体运动进行输入、存储、编辑和显示。Labanotation score中使用的大多数符号都比较简单。然而，由于符号的大小是多变的，并且使用了一些像孵化一样的纹理图案，所以识别符号并不一定容易。我们开发了一种可变大小的模板匹配方法，该方法检查每个候选符号，其轮廓由线段表示。通过这种方法，大多数基本符号已被成功识别。我们利用PEX系统在X窗口系统上开发人体运动模拟器，使我们能够以多种显示模式显示人体模型。

The goal of this research is to develop a system for inputting, editing and displaying human-body motion based on the Labanotation dance score.In the first year of the research period, we have developed an interactive system for inputting and displaying human-body motion based on Labanotation. In the second, i.e.final, year, we devoted our effort on developping a pattern recognition system for reading printed Labanotation score, and refining the display quality of human body motion simulation system. By using this system we can now input, store, edit and display various type human body motion.Most of the symbols used in Labanotation score are relatively simple. However, because size of symbols is variant and some texture patterns like hatching are used, it is not necessarily easy to recognize symbols.We have developed a variable-size template matching method which examines each can-didate symbol whose outline is represented by line segments. By this technique most of fundamental symbols have been recognized successfully.We used PEX system for developping the human body motion simulator on X window system, and it enabled us to display human body model in several kinds of display model.
