Segmentation is a cognitive process involved in the understanding of information perceived through the senses. Likewise, the automatic segmentation of data captured by sensors may be used for the identification of patterns. This study is concerned with the segmentation of dancing motion captured by accelerometry and its possible applications, such as pattern learning and recognition, or gestural control of devices. To that effect, an automatic segmentation system was formulated and tested. Two participants were asked to ‘dance with one arm’ while their motion was measured by an accelerometer. The performances were recorded on video, and manually segmented by six annotators later. The annotations were used to optimize the automatic segmentation system, maximizing a novel similarity score between computed and annotated segmentations. The computed segmentations with highest similarity to each annotation were then manually assessed by the annotators, resulting in Precision between 0.71 and 0.89, and Recall between 0.82 to 1.

Motion in musical sound : the role of music performer bodily gesture in creating expressive sounding music
Allingham, Emma (2018)The way that musicians move when they perform is closely linked with their communicative intent and artistic interpretation of the music. While research has shown that musicians’ bodily gesture conveys visually expressive ... -
A dynamic adjustment model of saccade lengths in reading for word-spaced orthographies : evidence from simulations and invisible boundary experiments
Hautala, Jarkko; Hawelka, Stefan; Loberg, Otto; Leppänen, Paavo H.T. (Taylor & Francis, 2022)Contemporary models of eye movement control in reading assume a discrete target word selection process preceding saccade length computation, while the selection itself is assumed to be driven by word identification processes. ... -
Modelling and prediction of perceptual segmentation
Hartmann, Martín Ariel (University of Jyväskylä, 2017)While listening to music, we somehow make sense of a multiplicity of auditory events; for example, in popular music we are often able to recognize whether the current section is a verse or a chorus, and to identify the ... -
Effects of musicianship and experimental task on perceptual segmentation
Hartmann, Martin; Lartillot, Oliver; Toiviainen, Petri (Royal Northern College of Music; European Society for the Cognitive Sciences of Music, 2015)The perceptual structure of music is a fundamental issue in music psychology that can be systematically addressed via computational models. This study estimated the contribution of spectral, rhythmic and tonal descriptors ... -
Hip and wrist accelerometers showed consistent associations with fitness and fatness in children aged 8‐12 years

Physical activity (PA) has traditionally been measured wearing accelerometers on the hip, but they are increasingly being worn on the wrist. We compared hip and wrist accelerometers with regard to their acceptability ...
