Musical Gestures Toolbox for Python
Project description
MGT-python
The Musical Gestures Toolbox for Python is a collection of tools for visualization and analysis of audio and video.
Usage
The easiest way to get started is to take a look at the Jupyter notebook MusicalGesturesToolbox, which shows examples of the usage of the toolbox.
The standard installation via pip
: paste and execute the following code in the Terminal (OSX, Linux) or the PowerShell (Windows):
pip install musicalgestures
MGT is developed in Python 3 and relies on FFmpeg
and OpenCV
. See the wiki documentation for more details on the installation process.
Description
Watch a 10-minute introduction to the toolbox:
MGT can generate both dynamic and static visualizations of video files, including motion videos, history videos, average images, motiongrams, and videograms. It can also extract various features from video files, including the quantity, centroid, and area of motion. The toolbox also integrates well with other libraries, such as OpenPose for skeleton tracking, and Librosa for audio analysis. All the features are described in the wiki documentation.
History
This toolbox builds on the Musical Gestures Toolbox for Matlab, which again builds on the Musical Gestures Toolbox for Max.
The software is currently maintained by the fourMs lab at RITMO Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Rhythm, Time and Motion at the University of Oslo.
