Recognition of dancer in video is a tough mission because of its complicated backgrounds, illuminations and variations in the dancer costume. The purpose of this article is to identify dancer in a video. In this work we identify the dancer from videos through movement analysis. The dance movement consists of primary movements and that motion analysis is required to detect these components. These motions should be synchronized with dance steps. This paper uses morphological operations such as erosion and dilation for detection and segmentation of dancer. In Background subtraction model adaptive frame difference method is used for foreground detection.

Keywords : Erosion, Dilation, Adaptive Frame Difference Method, Motion Analysis.
