ABSTRACT:
Computation time of correlation comparison between rhythm features obtained from motion capture (MoCap) data and rhythm features obtained from music data is shortened. A rhythm matching parallel processing apparatus includes a feature holding unit which holds beat information of a music segment of input music data and MoCap data having motion beat features of high correlation with beat features of the input music data, a correlative value computation parallel execution procedure registering unit which registers a correlation value computation parallel execution procedure, and a correlation value parallel computing unit which computes in parallel correlation values between the motion beat features of the MoCap data and the beat information of the music segment held in the feature holding unit. The correlation value parallel computing unit obtains in parallel a highest correlation value between the beat features of the music segment and the motion beat features of the MoCap data.
