Deep Neural Network approaches for Analysing Videos of Music Performances
share
This paper presents a framework to automate the labelling process for gestures in musical performance videos with a 3D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). While this idea was proposed in a previous study, this paper introduces several novelties: (i) Presents a novel method to overcome the class imbalance challenge and make learning possible for co-existent gestures by batch balancing approach and spatial-temporal representations of gestures. (ii) Performs a detailed study on 7 and 18 categories of gestures generated during the performance (guitar play) of musical pieces that have been video-recorded. (iii) Investigates the possibility to use audio features. (iv) Extends the analysis to multiple videos. The novel methods significantly improve the performance of gesture identification by 12 work (51 the proposed methods on 7 super classes (72 gestures/classes, and additional videos (75
