Abstract
This work presents a unique new dataset and objectives for action analysis. The data presents 3 key challenges: tracking, classification, and judging action quality. The last of these, to our knowledge, has not yet been attempted in the vision literature as applied to sports where technique is scored.
This work performs an initial analysis of the dataset with classification experiments, confirming that temporal information is more useful than holistic bag-of-features style analysis in distinguishing dives. Our investigation lays a groundwork of effective tools for working with this type of sports data for future investigations into judging the quality of actions.
