Motion Analysis of Traditional Korean Dance using Openpose and DTW Distance

― Visualization of Differences between Expert and Beginner ―

Abstract

  In the study, motion analysis was performed to clarify the motion characteristics found in Korean dance by comparing the differences between Korean dance experts and beginners. Specifically, the skeleton of the target is detected by the open-source library OpenPose. The coordinates of each joint can be obtained from the video recording using OpenPose. The similarity between experts and beginners was calculated using the Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) method.
