Movement recorded from motion capture can be decomposed along two separate dimensions. It can be divided into shorter units of motion with respect to time. Secondly, a movement can also be decomposed into a base motion and a motion texture. We define the term, basic movement, to reflect properties from both of these decompositions of movement; it adheres to the atomic length property in time and also describes the baseline graph of a motion. We additionally define the terms, alphabet, as the complete set of all distinct basic movements in a motion database, and grammar rules as the set of all frequently occurring sequences of the basic movements. Determining the alphabet and the grammar of a motion capture database assists in addressing the organizational issues plaguing the process of motion capture, as well as provides a notational representation of motion. In this thesis, we introduce a method for determining the alphabet and grammar of rhythmic motion. by Jonathan H. Chu.
