Abstract
In military organization, the synchronization in the parade is important for showing their majesty. However, we do not have any quantitative evaluation methods for the parade. In this research, as a first step of the quantitative evaluation for the parade, we propose an evaluation method focusing on the synchronization level of “Marking Time”, in which soldiers is moving their legs as in marching without step forward, between two persons with OpenPose. In order to measure the synchronization level, our method is based on the trend of the transition of arm swing angles in the parade, and the result shows our method is appreciable for measuring the synchronization level for two persons.
