Outline of Final Research Achievements

Today, many attractive folk dances are existent in Akita Prefecture, Japan. Their motion characteristics can be quantitatively extracted by analyzing the motion capture data of them. On the other hand, many survey reports on the folk dances themselves and the places in which the dances have been passed down have been compiled to record their histories and current states. It is expected that a lot of valuable information can be extracted by analyzing the text data of them. In this study, an effective method to realize a coupled motion-capture and text data analysis of the folk dances of Akita Prefecture, Japan, was proposed.
