Abstract:

This paper focuses on a real-time Max/MSP implementa- tion of a gesture recognition tool based on Dynamic Time Warping (DTW). We present an original ”multi-grid” DTW algorithm, that does not require prior segmentation. The num.dtw object will be downloadable on the numediart website both for Max/MSP and for Pure Data. Though this research was conducted in the framework described below, with wearable sensors, we believe it could be useful in many other contexts. We are for instance starting a new project where we will evaluate our DTW object on video tracking data as well as on a combination of video tracking and wear- able sensors data.
