Music Driven Choreography Synthesis

Choreography Synthesis:

• A framework for annotation, modeling, analysis, and synthesis of multi-modal dance performances:
• Analyze correlations between music featuresand dance figure labels,
• Construct a mapping from musicmeasures(segments) to dancefigures,
• which is many-to-many
• Synthesize music-driven dance choreography,
• Generate a personalized dance performance animation.
