Abstract.Computer vision offers a growing capacity to detect and classify actions in a large range of sports. Since combat sports are highly dynamic and physically demanding, it is difficult to measure features of performance from competition in a safe and practical way. Also, coaches frequently wish to measure the performance characteristics of other competitors. For these reasons it is desirable to be able to measure features of competitive performance without using sensors or physical devices. We present a non-invasive method for extracting pose and features of behaviour in boxing using vision cameras and time of flight sensors. We demonstrate that body parts can be reliably located, which allow punching actions to be detected. Those data can then visualised in a way that allows coaches to analysis behaviour.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
