Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

The Indian classical dance styles of Bharatanatyam and Kathak have many similarities in movements and hand gestures, but their execution varies greatly. Analysis of similar movements from two styles results in observed differences in position and tension. Limitations in a previously developed motion capture metric (verticality) are discussed. Other movement measures are introduced that may be more appropriate to highlight differences in the two styles. Potential applications include robots that need different measures to appropriately sense human motion in different cultures.
