Abstract

We have been studying how to establish a method for extracting human emotion in order to express emotional images by utilizing multimedia, such as video and sound. Human body motion is the most basic essence in expressing human emotion. MIDAS (MIC Interactive DAnce System) is an application of the emotional information extracting/expressing method in a dance system. In this system, we applied R. Laban´s (1879-1958) dance theory to extract physical characteristics of dance motion from real-time video sequences, and we mapped this information to categories of emotional image expression. In this way, we can relate the motion to an emotional representation using multimedia
