There is a clear need for a uniform process that could be applied toward analysis of both indicative and expressive gestures. The conducting gesture recognition system is implemented on the basis of Hidden Markov Model (HMM) process. An external HMM object is developed for Max/MSP software. Training and recognition procedures are applied toward both right hand beatand amplitudeindicative gestures, and left hand expressive gestures. Continuous recognition of right-hand gestures is incorporated into a real-time gesture analysis and performance system in Max/MSP/Jitter environment.

However, most of the previous projects either primarily concentrated on tracking tempo and amplitude indicating gestures, or implemented individual mapping techniques for expressive gestures that varied from research to research. There is a clear need for a uniform process that could be applied toward analysis of both indicative and expressive gestures. The proposed system provides a set of tools that contain extensive functionality for identification, classification and performance with conducting gestures.

Tempo refers to the rate at which a musical piece is played, and is represented in score time units per real time units (beat per minute being its most popular format). A beat can be defined as a unit in a sequence of impulses which represent the tempo of a musical piece. In fact, beat has no exclusive definition, and is dependant on the context and representation. The two properties of a beat are its period, which refers to the interval between consecutive beat occurances, and phase, which represents the difference between the time of the actual beat occurance and its position in the musical score. Based on those definitions, tempo induction can be viewed as a process of estimating basic tempo from musical data, and beat tracking can be defined as a process of extracting beat information from a musical score. Beat tracking can be differentiated from score following,...
