Robust Swimming Style Classification from Color Video
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a robust method to classify swimming styles from live video based on the features extracted from the upper-body of the swimmer. In our approach, potential body parts are first extracted using a simple skin color model. Next, the dominant components in the segmented regions are selected according to quantitative measures such as the aspect ratio and the area. Regression analysis is performed to calculate the relative position of the constituent body parts. Finally, a scoring system is constructed to carry out the classification. Experimental results demonstrate the validity and efficiency of our proposed approach.

Hand Gesture Recognition from RGB-D Data using 2D and 3D Convolutional Neural Networks: a comparative study
Despite considerable enhances in recognizing hand gestures from still images, there are still many challenges in the classification of hand gestures in videos. The latter comes with more challenges, including higher computational complexity and arduous task of representing temporal features. Hand movement dynamics, represented by temporal features, have to be extracted by analyzing the total fr...
متن کاملSwimming-style synesthesia.
The traditional and predominant understanding of synesthesia is that a sensory input in one modality (inducer) elicits sensory experiences in another modality (concurrent). Recent evidence suggests an important role of semantic representations of inducers. We report here the cases of two synesthetes, experienced swimmers, for whom each swimming style evokes another synesthetic color. Importantl...

We developed a new semi-supervised EM-like algorithm that is given the set of objects present in eachtraining image, but does not know which regions correspond to which objects. We have tested thealgorithm on a dataset of 860 hand-labeled color images using only color and texture features, and theresults show that our EM variant is able to break the symmetry in the initial solution. We compared...
متن کاملSynesthesia, Sensory-Motor Contingency, and Semantic Emulation: How Swimming Style-Color Synesthesia Challenges the Traditional View of Synesthesia
Synesthesia is traditionally regarded as a phenomenon in which an additional non-standard phenomenal experience occurs consistently in response to ordinary stimulation applied to the same or another modality. Recent studies suggest an important role of semantic representations in the induction of synesthesia. In the present proposal we try to link the empirically grounded theory of sensory-moto...
متن کاملRobust Dominant Color Region Detection with Applications to Sports Video Analysis ?
This paper proposes a novel automatic dominant color region detection algorithm that is robust to temporal variations in the dominant color due to field, weather and lighting conditions throughout a sports video. The proposed algorithm uses two color spaces, a control space and a primary space. The robustness of the algorithm results from adaptation of the statistics of the dominant color in th...
