20.500.12556/RUL-136696 Dance tempo estimation using a single leg-attached 3D accelerometer We present a methodology that enables dance tempo estimation through the acquisition of 3D accelerometer signals using a single wearable inertial device positioned on the dancer’s leg. Our tempo estimation method is based on enhanced multiple resonators, implemented with comb feedback filters. To validate the methodology, we focus on the versatile solo jazz dance style. Including a variety of dance moves, with different leg activation patterns and rhythmical variations, solo jazz provides for a highly critical validation environment. We consider 15 different solo jazz dance moves, with different leg activation patterns, assembled in a sequence of 5 repetitions of each, giving 65 moves altogether. A professional and a recreational dancer performed this assembly in a controlled environment, following eight dancing tempos, dictated by a metronome, and ranging from 80 bpm to 220 bpm with 20 bpm increment steps. We show that with appropriate enhancements and using single leg signals, the comb filter bank provides for accurate dance tempo estimates for all moves and rhythmical variations considered. Dance tempo estimates for the overall assembles match strongly the dictated tempo—the difference being at most 1 bpm for all measurement instances is within the limits of the established beat onset stability of the used metronome. Results further show that this accuracy is achievable for shorter dancing excerpts, comprising four dance moves, corresponding to one music phrase, and as such enables real-time feedback. By providing for a dancer’s tempo quality and consistency assessment, the presented methodology has the potential of supporting the learning process, classifying individual level of experience, and assessing overall performance. It is extendable to other dance styles and sport motion in general where cyclical patterns occur. dance tempo motion activation motion analysis inertial sensors wearable devices 3D accelerometer solo jazz tempo plesa gibanje analiza gibanja inercijski senzorji nosljive naprave 3D pospeškometer solo jazz true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2022-05-16 14:23:47 2022-05-16 14:23:49 2022-09-15 04:14:12 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 14 str. iss. 23, art. 8066 Vol. 21 Dec. 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 681.586:793.3 1424-8220 10.3390/s21238066 104122883 sensors-21-08066.pdf sensors-21-08066.pdf 1 DCD37CDA9F09E113D38EBDE2894E2881 edfaa98681d7f4992cb18332ab818c0dd83e2aba4c64268e8740e08af99d2e1a 1eaa8700-d513-11ec-8aca-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=156441 https://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/21/23/8066 1 eca82b97-d512-11ec-8aca-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=156440 Fakulteta za elektrotehniko 0 0 0
