In particular, the goal is to identify postures which are characteristic for the dance performed, based on exploiting simultaneously the information of 24 body joints, acquired by a Kinect II sensor. The data sets described 6 folk dances, and their variations, originating from Greece. C2 - ACM Int. Conf. Proc. Ser. DO - 10.1145/3056540.3076200 LA - English N1 - Journal Abbreviation: ACM Int.
