Key-Skeleton Based Feedback Tool for Assisting Physical Activity

Abstract

This paper presents an intuitive feedback tool able to implicitly guide motion with respect to a reference movement. Such a tool is important in multiple applications requiring assisting physical activities as in sports or rehabilitation. Our proposed approach is based on detecting key skeleton frames from a reference sequence of skeletons. The feedback is based on the 3D geometry analysis of the skeletons by taking into account the key-skeletons. Finally, the feedback is illustrated by a color-coded tool, which reflects the motion accuracy.
