Abstract

In the training of sports, video-based motion analysis is important to automatically capture the action of trainees and provide training suggestions. Focusing on the dragon boating which mainly involves periodic rowing actions, this paper proposes a motion analysis method by comparing the action patterns of the athletes in the video and the expert athletes. First, taking a dragon boating video as input, the key points of human body of the dragon boat athlete in every frame are extracted with the deep convolutional neural network HRNET. Second, the extracted key points of athlete’s body are constructed as a sequence to represent the motion of human body, and a mathematical analysis method is designed to obtain the related action parameters. Third, the parameters are compared with the standard actions of expert athletes to give the advice for action correction. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can provide reliable suggestions for dragon boat athletes, which is robust to individual differences and non-uniform resolutions caused by different videos.
