Abstract

With the growing interest in the domain of human computer interaction (HCI) these days, budding research professionals are coming up with novel ideas of developing more versatile and flexible modes of communication between a man and a machine. Using the attributes of internet, the scientists have been able to create a web based social platform for learning any desired art by the subject himself/herself, and this particular procedure is termed as electronic learning or e-learning. In this paper, we propose a novel application of gesture dependent elearning of dance. This e-learning procedure may provide help to many dance enthusiasts who cannot learn the art because of the scarcity of resources despite having great zeal. The paper mainly deals with recognition of different dance gestures of a trained
user such that after detecting the discrepancies between the gestures shown and actually performed by a novice; the user can rectify his faults. The elementary knowledge of geometry has been employed to introduce the concept of planes in the feature extraction stage. Actually, five planes have been constructed to signify major body parts while keeping the synchronous parts in one unit. Then four distances and four angular features have been obtained to provide entire positional information of the
different body joints. Finally, using a probabilistic neural network the dance gestures have been classified after training the said network with sufficient amount of data recorded from numerous subjects to maintain generality.
