Piano playing posture real-time correction system based on hand shape recognition

PendingCN122336346AEngineeringInterphalangeal Joint
This invention discloses a real-time piano playing posture correction system based on hand shape recognition, specifically in the field of music-assisted teaching technology. It addresses the problems of joint positioning loss and inaccurate dynamic force assessment under occlusion during playing. First, a primary contour is generated by fusing visual flow entities and reflection edges to construct a key mapping mesh. Then, inverse kinematics deduction is performed using skeletal proportion constraints to reconstruct the three-dimensional skeleton sequence under occlusion. Next, focusing on the key sinking time window, the vertical displacement gradient of the metacarpophalangeal joints and the rate of change of interphalangeal joint angles are compared to quantify joint motion values ​​and construct a force deformation feature vector. The extracted feature vectors are input into a standardized database for comparison, and posture error labels are parsed out. Finally, graphic and synchronous speech correction signals are generated at rests or long notes in the electronic score, constructing a closed-loop correction system that does not interrupt the playing rhythm, providing scientific support for piano posture-assisted teaching.
