Abstract
A wake surf monitoring system includes an image system configured to image an area behind a marine vessel that includes at least one image sensor and a control system configured to receive image data from the image system containing at least one image of the area behind the marine vessel. The control system is further configured to identify a wake surfer in the at least one image and determine surfer pose data of the wake surfer, compare the surfer pose data to ideal pose information to identify a pose difference, and generate pose feedback based on the pose difference. The system may also include at least one display controllable by the control system to display the pose feedback to a user.
Claims23
A wake surf monitoring system comprising:
- an image system including at least one image sensor, the image system configured to image an area behind a marine vessel;
- a control system configured to:
- receive image data from the image system containing at least one image of the area behind the marine vessel;
- identify a wake surfer in the at least one image and determine surfer pose data of the wake surfer;
- compare the surfer pose data to ideal pose information to identify a pose difference;
- generate pose feedback based on the pose difference;
- and
- display the pose feedback.
A method of monitoring wake surfing, the method comprising:
- imaging with an image system an area behind a marine vessel to generate image data;
- processing the image data with a controller to determine surfer pose data of a wake surfer in the image;
- comparing the surfer pose data to ideal pose information to identify a pose difference;
- generating pose feedback based on the pose difference;
- and
- displaying the pose feedback.
