Choreography2 dataset

Presentation

This database contains choreography motions recorded through a kinect device. It contains a total of 1100 examples of 10 different gestures that are spanned over one or two limbs, either the legs (e.g. walk, squat), left or right arm (e.g. wave hand, punch) or both arms (e.g. clap in hands, paddle).

Each example (or record) contained in the dataset consists in two elements:

• the motion data,
• labels identifying which gesture is demonstrated.

Description of the data

The data has been acquired through a kinect camera and the OpenNI drivers through its ROS <http://ros.org> interface, which yields a stream of values of markers on the body.

Each example from the dataset is associated to a sequence of 3D positions of each of the 15 markers. Thus for a sequence of length T, the example would corresponds to T*15*7 values.

The position of the following list of markers was recorded:

head, neck, left_hip, left_hip, left_shoulder, left_elbow, left_hand, left_knee, left_foot, right_hip, right_shoulder, right_elbow, right_hand, right_knee, right_foot, right_hand

A list of gestures and their descriptions can be found at the end of this document.
