  title = {Kinematics-based Extraction of Salient 3D Human Motion Data for Summarization of Choreographic Sequences},
  abstract = {Capturing, documenting and storing Intangible Cultural Heritage content has been recently enabled at unprecedented volume and quality levels through a variety of sensors and devices. When it comes to the performing arts, and mainly dance and kinesiology, the massive amounts of RGB-D and 3D skeleton data produced by video and motion capture devices the huge number of different types of existing dances and variations thereof, dictate the need for organizing, indexing, archiving, retrieving and analyzing dance-related cultural content in a tractable fashion and with lower computational and storage resource requirements. In this context, we present a novel framework based on kinematics modeling for the extraction of salient 3D human motion data from real-world choreographic sequences. Two approaches are proposed: A clustering-based method for the selection of the basic primitives of a choreography, and a kinematics-based method that generates meaningful summaries at hierarchical levels of granularity. The dance summarization framework has been successfully validated and evaluated with two real-world datasets and with the participation of dance professionals and domain experts.},
