SkiTech: An Alpine Skiing and Snowboarding Dataset of 3D Body Pose, Sole Pressure, and Electromyography

Published:29 October 2023Publication History

ABSTRACT

Effective analysis of skills requires high-quality, multi-modal datasets, especially in the field of artificial intelligence. However, creating such datasets for extreme sports, such as alpine skiing, can be challenging due to environmental constraints. Optical and wearable sensors may not perform optimally under diverse lighting, weather, and terrain conditions. To address these challenges, we present a comprehensive skiing/snowboarding dataset using a professional motor-based simulator. Using the realistic simulator, it is easy to obtain different types of data with a small domain gap between real-world data. Common data for skill analysis are collected, including camera images, 3D body pose, sole pressure, and leg electromyography, from athletes of different levels. Another key aspect is the comparison of cross-modal baselines, highlighting the versatility of the data across modalities. In addition, a real-world pilot test is conducted to assess the practical applicability and data robustness.
