Fractal Dimension on the Difference of Thai Dance Gestures using Time Series Movement

Ronnachai Nanthochot

Abstract

Thai dance gesture is a graceful and interpretative performance. It is closely intertwined with
the beliefs, traditions and customs of Thailand and is therefore important to the lives of the people. This
research aims to study the fractal dimension on the standard Thai dance gestures using the variation
method of time series data. The MPO6050 gyroscope sensor with Arduino is put on the right wrist for
considering and analysing the data of Thai dance gestures on the standard Thai dance. This research
is interested in ten standard Thai dance gestures that are different rhythms. The results show that
the fractal dimension of the Thai dance gestures in the slow rhythm is lower than the fast rhythm. In
conclusion, the fractal dimension is an effective analysis for separating the standard Thai dance gestures
in the different rhythms.
