Autonomous Sports Training from Visual Cues

Abstract

Computer driven biometric analysis of athlete's movements have proven themselves as effective sports training tools. Most current systems rely on the use of retro-reflective markers or magnetic sensors to capture the motion of the athlete, so the biometric analysis can be performed. Video based training tools have also proved to be valuable instructional aids, however most require significant human interaction for analysis to be performed. This paper outlines an ongoing project focussed on capturing posture without the use of any markers or sensors, while still capturing enough information for an automated analysis to be performed. The approach taken to solving this problem is presented, as well as the current state of development of a an instructional aid for golfers
