Effective Technology Based Sports Training System Using Human Pose Model

This paper investigates the sports dynamics using human pose modeling from the video sequences. To implement human pose modeling, a human skeletal model is developed using thinning algorithm and the feature points of human body are extracted. The obtained feature points play an important role in analyzing the activities of a sports person. The proposed human pose model technique provides a technology based training to a sports person and performance can be gradually improved. Also the paper aimed at improving the computation time and efficiency of 2D and 3D model.
